What You’ll Need to Make Cinnamon Apple Chips

2 apples (any variety—Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala are great)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

How to Make Cinnamon Apple Chips

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°F (93°C).
Prepare the apples: Wash and core the apples. Slice them as thin as possible (about 1/8 inch thick). A mandolin slicer works great for this if you have one!
Season the apples: Place the apple slices in a bowl, and toss them with the cinnamon, sugar (if using), and lemon juice (if using).
Arrange on a baking sheet: Lay the apple slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they’re not overlapping, so they bake evenly.
Bake: Bake the apples in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping them halfway through. You want them to be crispy, but still a little bendable when done.
Cool and serve: Let the apple chips cool completely on the baking sheet—they’ll crisp up even more as they cool. Serve and enjoy!
