Ingredients
- 1 Ambrosia apple (or any other type of apple), thinly sliced
- Ground cinnamon, to taste
- Brown sugar, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°F (93°C) to prepare for slow baking the apple slices to achieve a crispy texture.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal of the apple chips after baking.
- Wash and slice the apple: Thoroughly wash the Ambrosia apple, keeping the peel on for extra texture and nutrients. Use a knife or mandolin slicer to cut the apple into very thin slices for even baking.
- Arrange apple slices: Lay the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure slices do not overlap to ensure crispiness.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar: Evenly sprinkle ground cinnamon and brown sugar over the apple slices to add flavor and sweetness.
- Bake the apple slices: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 1.5 hours. After this, carefully flip each apple slice over to ensure even baking.
- Bake again: Continue baking the flipped apple slices for an additional 1.5 hours until they become dry and crisp.
Notes
- Using a mandolin slicer helps achieve uniformly thin slices, which bake more evenly.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon and brown sugar to personal taste preferences.
- Store apple chips in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
- If you prefer a chewier texture, reduce baking time slightly.
- You can experiment with other apple varieties, though firmer apples like Ambrosia, Fuji, or Honeycrisp work best for baking.
