Tools for making oven baked apple chips

There are no special tools or skills that are absolutely required to make these delicious apple chips.  However, a mandolin or some sort of slicer certainly makes getting thin and even slices much easier.

You will need:

•  baking sheet
• and oven

Tools to make it easier:

• parchment paper or silicone baking mat
• mandoline or slicer

Step by step instructions for making homemade apple chips in the oven

Cut apples into thin slices.  The more even the better, so use a mandoline slicer if you have one.

Spread out over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with a small amount of cinnamon sugar if desired.

Bake at 225℉  until mostly dried.  The edges will curl, but they won’t necessarily feel dry to the touch immediately. They will harden a bit as they cool.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature.  Any moisture will make them soften a bit again.
