Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 apples (Fuji or Honeycrisp)
Spice Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a gentle 275°F (135°C), creating an ideal environment for slowly transforming fresh apples into delicate, crispy chips without scorching.
- Remove the apple cores and slice the fruit into uniform, paper-thin rounds using a sharp mandoline or knife to ensure consistent drying and texture.
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper, carefully arranging the apple slices in a single layer without overlapping to promote even dehydration and crispness.
- Generously dust the apple rounds with ground cinnamon, ensuring each slice receives a light, aromatic coating that will enhance both flavor and nutritional profile.
- Position the prepared tray in the preheated oven, allowing the apples to slowly transform for approximately 2 hours, rotating the tray and flipping each slice midway through the cooking process.
- Monitor the apple chips closely during the final 30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown color and crisp edges that indicate perfect dehydration.
- Remove the tray from the oven and let the cinnamon-infused apple chips cool completely on the baking sheet, where they will continue to crisp and develop a satisfying crunch.
- Once cooled, carefully transfer the delicate chips to an airtight container, preserving their texture and enjoying them as a wholesome, lightweight snack.
Notes
- Transform ordinary apple slices into a guilt-free, crispy snack that delights taste buds with minimal effort.
- Drying apples at low temperatures concentrates their natural sweetness and creates a satisfying crunch without added sugars.
- Cinnamon works magic by enhancing flavor, providing antioxidants, and creating an irresistible aroma that fills your kitchen with warmth.
