Commit to healthy snacks. These baked apple chips are all-natural - plain or with cinnamon-maple flavor. A great alternative to munch on during the day or while watching a movie.
Preheat oven to 250 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat.
If you are making flavored apple chips, combine maple syrup and cinnamon.
Thinly slice apples using a good sharp knife or a mandolin. Pop out the seeds, if necessary.
Place slices of 3-5 apples in a large bowl and carefully combine with cinnamon-maple mixture, if desired.
Lay out the apple slices on prepared pan - just slight overlapping is ok.
Bake apple chips for 1.5 to 2 hours. The cinnamon-maple chips took closer to 2 hours for me, while the plain chips where done sooner.
Flip the slices once in a while (about every ½ hour). I opened the oven door to let out moisture, whenever I noticed a lot of steam escaping the oven vent.
The apple chips will only crisp up completely once they cool. Take one out to cool on the counter. If it doesn't crisp up enough, return to oven.
Store in an airtight container or plastic bag for a few days. After that chips will soften again.
