Ingredients

  • 4 medium apples (McIntosh, Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • Nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C).
  2. Wash, core, and slice apples into ⅛ to ¼ inch thick rings, keeping slices as uniform as possible.
  3. In a large bowl, toss apple slices with cinnamon and optional sugar until evenly coated.
  4. Line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  5. Arrange apple slices in a single layer without overlapping.
  6. Bake for 2½ to 3 hours, flipping halfway through. Check at 2 hours to prevent overbrowning.
  7. When slices feel dry and begin to curl at the edges, remove from oven and let cool completely. They will crisp up as they cool.

Notes

  • Skip sugar for a naturally sweet, sugar-free version.
  • Add nutmeg or ground ginger for a spiced variation.
  • Sprinkle sea salt for a sweet-savory twist.
  • Mix in sliced pears for a blend of fruit chips.
  • For extra crispiness, slice thinner and bake longer, leaving oven door ajar during final 30 minutes.
  • Store fully cooled chips in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Re-crisp soft chips in a 200°F oven for 5–10 minutes, then cool before storing.
