Baked Apple Chips

These baked apple chips make a healthy snack and they are super easy to make.  The key is slicing the apples super thin so they can get crispy when baked.  I used a mandolin that made things really quick and easy.  I sprinkled my apple slices with cinnamon sugar before baking but you can leave that out and just bake the apples as directed.

Ingredients:
3 Apples (I used Granny Smith)
Ground cinnamon
Granulated sugar


Directions:
Preheat oven to 200F degrees. Line two large baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper and set aside.

Wash and thinly slice the apples (using a mandolin if available). Spread the apple slices onto the baking pans making 1 single layer. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.

Bake for 1 1/2 hour, turn apples over (you may want to dry any moisture from the apples as you turn them), and bake for another 1 1/2 hours.  Check apples and continue to cook until desired crispiness is reached.  Store the apple chips in an airtight container.


** I used a pear when I made this batch just to see how it would work and it turned out just a good as the apples.
