Prep Time: 15 min.

Cook Time: 45 min.

Total Time: 60 min.

Ingredients:

• Apples (any amount) (each apple makes about 35-40 chips depending on how thick it is sliced)
• 1 large lemon
• Cinnamon
• Sugar (optional)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 200°F
• Squeeze juice out of one large lemon and set the juice aside.
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Core the apple, and slice the apples very thin. I recommend using a mandoline slicer or vegetable peeler.
• Put thin apple slices in a large bowl. Pour lemon juice over the slices and mix carefully with clean hands to avoid tearing the slices. This prevents the apples from naturally browning.
• Remove slices from bowl and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they do not overlap.
• Sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon on the apple slices. Also apply sugar, if wanted.
• Put in the oven, and bake approximately 45 minutes, or until the edges start to brown.
• Remove chips from oven and allow them to cool. When they are first removed from the oven they will be soft, but as they cool they will harden into chips.
• Once cooled, store in an airtight container to avoid losing their crispness.
