Ingredients
  

3 medium-sized apples (Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, or your favorite)

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier option)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200°F (93°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly. Using a mandoline slicer for even thickness (around 1/8 inch), slice the apples into thin rounds. If you don’t have a mandoline, a sharp knife will work, but ensure the slices are uniform.

      Soak in Lemon Juice: In a large bowl, mix the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance flavor. Toss gently to coat.

        Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until evenly blended.

          Coat the Apple Slices: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the lemon-coated apple slices. Toss gently to ensure all the slices are evenly coated.

            Arrange on Baking Sheets: Lay the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they don't overlap. This allows them to bake evenly.

              Bake the Apple Chips: Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Check them halfway through. Rotate the sheets for even baking and flip the apple slices if desired.

                Check for Crispiness: The apple chips are done when they are crisp and no longer pliable. If they still feel soft, continue baking in 10-minute increments, checking often.

                  Cool and Store: Once baked to perfection, remove the sheets from the oven and allow the apple chips to cool completely on the baking sheets. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

                    Enjoy or Store: Enjoy your baked cinnamon sugar apple chips right away or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
