How To Make Homemade Apple Chips

Apple chips are so good but they are kind of on the expensive side. The homemade ones tastes just as good and even better then the store bought ones. You can use whatever kind of apples you like!

Ingredients:

1 large apple

2tbsp light brown sugar

1tbsp cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 225 degrees and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Thinly slice the apple carefully. If you have a mandolin use that but I'm just using a knife since I dont own one.

Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Dip the apple slices in the cinnamon mix just to lightly coat the chips.

Bake for 1 hour. Take out and flip them over. Then bake for another hour.
