Ingredients
  

3 medium-sized apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon lemon juice

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Slice the Apples: Wash and dry the apples. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut them into thin slices (about 1/8 inch thick). Removing the core is optional, but will help in achieving a uniform shape.

      Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

        Coat the Apple Slices: In a separate bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and add a touch of citrus flavor. Then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the slices, tossing gently to ensure they are evenly coated.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the coated apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even baking.

            Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the apple slices are dry and crisp. Halfway through, flip the slices over for even cooking.

              Cool and Store: Once baked, remove the apple chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will crisp up further as they cool. Once cool, store them in an airtight container for freshness.

                Serve: Enjoy your homemade baked cinnamon sugar apple chips as a healthy snack, topping for salads, or even as a dessert choice!
