How to make Apple Chips?

Apple chips make a very fun, light snack. Nobody could guess! Besides being a light snack, they are awesome added to a granola mix and make stunning garnishes for desserts as well.

Apple Chips

• 2 gala or granny smith apples
• 2 tbsp sugar
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Water

1. Turn the oven on its lowest setting (80C/175F)
2. Fill a bowl with 1 cup cold water and the lemon.
3. Holding a mandoline over the bowl, slice the apples, letting them fall in the water immediately. This prevents premature browning of the apples.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat and place the apple slices on the sheet after shaking off the excess liquid off it.
5. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar (this will make the apple slices brown though, so skip the cinnamon if you want them white).
6. Push it into the oven for 1.5-2 hours, until the apple slices are crisp. Try not to finish these in one go!

Update: If at the end of 2 hours, the chips are still soft, continue to bake them in the oven for another 1-2 hours. Depending on how large the slices are and how watery the apples are, it might just take a longer.
