Ingredients:

  • 3 large Granny Smith or Honeycrisp Apples (approx. 1.5 lb)
  • 1 tbsp melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C).
  2. Core the apples and slice them into rounds approximately 1/8-inch thick using a mandoline or a sharp chef's knife.
  3. Toss the apple slices in a large bowl with the melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar until every slice is lightly coated.
  4. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and arrange apple slices in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
  5. Bake for 2 to 3 hours, flipping the chips every 60 minutes, until the edges curl slightly and the centers feel firm and dry.
  6. Remove from the oven and immediately transfer to a wire cooling rack to allow remaining moisture to evaporate and the chips to become crisp.
