Ingredients

  • 2 apples any variety

Instructions

  • Slice: Slice apples horizontally as thin as possible. This is easiest if using a mandolin slicer.
    Sliced apple rings destined to become oven-baked apple chips are arranged on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper against a vibrant red background.
  • Bake: Arrange slices in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet and place in the oven. Set temperature to as low as your oven will go (I did 200°F, 93°C). Bake for 45 minutes, then flip all the chips over and continue baking for another 45 minutes, or until crispy.
    Oven-baked apple chips are artfully arranged on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, resting on a vibrant red surface.
  • Cool: Transfer chips to a wire rack to let them cool completely (they'll become more crispy as they cool).

  • Serve: Serve once cooled, optionally sprinkling on ground cinnamon.

Notes

Store apple chips in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days. To prevent them from losing their crispiness, place a paper towel in the container to help absorb excess moisture.
To make in the air fryer, arrange apple slices in an even layer in your air fryer, placing a metal rack on top of them to prevent them from flying around. Air fry at 300°F (148°C) for 15 minutes, flipping at least once throughout cooking.
