Sweet and Crisp Baked Apple Chips

Ingredients

- 3 medium-sized apples (preferably Gala or Fuji)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Oven:
Set your oven to 225°F (approximately 110°C) to preheat. Place an oven rack in the center position.

2. Slice the Apples:
Wash the apples thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the apples as thinly as possible, aiming for around 1/8 inch thickness. Discard seeds and cores.

3. Mix the Seasoning:
In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and salt. Set aside.

4. Arrange Apple Slices:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap to ensure even baking.

5. Season the Apples:
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the apple slices.

6. Bake the Apple Chips:
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour. After the first hour, flip each apple slice to ensure even drying. Continue baking for another hour, or until the apples are crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

7. Cool and Serve:
Once baked to crisp perfection, remove the apple chips from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
