Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 tiny pinch salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Wash and core your apples. Do not peel them.
- Slice the apples as thin as possible, about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick.
- Blot the slices with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Let them sit for 5 minutes.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the baking sheets with space between each slice.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon using a fine-mesh strainer. Flip and sprinkle the other side. Add a tiny pinch of salt if using.
- Bake for 60 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through.
- Flip the slices and bake for another 30 to 45 minutes until dry and curled at the edges.
- Let them cool completely on the baking sheets for about 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
The paper towel trick is non-negotiable for crispiness. Even slicing is key. Don’t crowd the pan. Cool completely before storing. For extra crispiness, use a dehydrator at 135°F (57°C) for 6 to 8 hours.
