How To Make Oven Dried Apple Chips Seasoned 5 Different Ways Food

DRIED APPLES (IN THE OVEN!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 Fahrenheit.
• Wash the apples, then slice them very thin, about 1/8". We recommend using a mandoline to slice. Leave the cores in the apples, but remove any seeds as you cut.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Lay the apple slices on the tray in a single layer, as close as possible without touching. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
• Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until curled and lightly browned. The chips will crisp after cooling for several minutes. (To test whether it is done, pull out an apple chip and set it on the counter for a few minutes until cool, then taste whether it is crisp.) Store the apple chips in a sealed container or mason jar at room temperature for about 1 week.

HOW TO MAKE OVEN-DRIED APPLE CHIPS (SEASONED 5 DIFFERENT WAYS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Prepare a large glass bowl with 2 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
• Wash the apples and slice them to around ⅛" thick. (I don't remove the peels for chips.) I use my food processor with the slicing blade and it quickly and evenly slices the apples.
• Immediately place the slices in the lemon water and soak for a few minutes. Remove and pat dry with a clean towel.
• Arrange slices in a single layer on baking sheets lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with your favorite spices.
• Place the baking sheets in the oven and prop the door open a couple of inches to help release moisture.
• Bake the slices for 1 hour on one side, then flip and sprinkle with spices. Bake for another hour or until the slices turn into crispy chips.
• Follow the same instructions as above but peel the apples and dice them into small pieces.
• I don't bake them quite as long as chips because I like them to be a little bit chewy.

• They come out crisp,sweet and tart.
• Store in an air tight container if for some reason there is any left over.
