Ingredients

4 medium apples (any variety, such as Fuji or Granny Smith)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Juice of 1 lemon (to prevent browning)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Apples: Core and slice the apples thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). You can leave the skin on for added texture.
Prevent Browning: In a bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Season the Apples: In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar (if using). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apple slices.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 2 hours, flipping the apple slices halfway through, until they are dry and crispy.
Cool and Store: Once baked, let the apple chips cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
