Chef's Note

For the crispiest apple chips, slice them as uniformly thin as possible. A mandoline is ideal, but a sharp knife works too if you're careful. The type of apple matters - Honeycrisp, Gala, and Pink Lady varieties work best as they have a good balance of sweetness and firmness. If your chips aren't crispy enough after cooling, you can return them to a warm (175°F) oven for 10-15 minutes to dry them further.

Ingredients

  • 3 medium Honeycrisp apples

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

  • 2 teaspoons coconut sugar

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

  • 2

    Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Using a mandoline slicer set to 1/8-inch thickness, carefully slice the apples into thin rounds. Remove any seeds or tough core pieces.

  • 3

    In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, coconut sugar, nutmeg, and sea salt until well combined.

  • 4

    Place the apple slices in a large bowl and drizzle with lemon juice and maple syrup. Toss gently to coat all slices evenly, which will prevent browning and add flavor.

  • 5

    Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apple slices and toss again to ensure even coating on both sides of each slice.

  • 6

    Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they don't overlap.

  • 7

    Bake for 45 minutes, then flip each slice carefully with tongs or a spatula.

  • 8

    Return to the oven and bake for an additional 30-45 minutes, checking frequently after the 30-minute mark to prevent burning. The chips are done when they feel dry to the touch and the edges start to curl up.

  • 9

    Turn off the oven but leave the chips inside with the door slightly ajar for about 20 minutes to continue drying and become crispier.

  • 10

    Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets. The chips will crisp up further as they cool.

  • 11

    Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
