Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

¼ cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier option)

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Apples:

      - Wash and dry the apples thoroughly.

        - Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the apples into thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick).

          - Remove the seeds and core from each slice.

            Toss with Lemon Juice:

              - In a large bowl, combine the apple slices with lemon juice. This prevents browning and adds a touch of tartness.

                Mix Cinnamon Sugar:

                  - In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

                    Coat the Apple Slices:

                      - Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the apple slices and gently toss until they are evenly coated.

                        Arrange on Baking Sheets:

                          - Lay the apple slices on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap. This ensures even baking.

                            Bake:

                              - Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 2 to 3 hours. Flip the apple slices halfway through to ensure they bake evenly. The chips are done when they are crisp and lightly browned.

                                Cool and Store:

                                  - Once baked, remove the apple chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

                                    - Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
