Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°F.
- Wash and dry the apples. Remove the cores and slice the apples into thin, even slices, about ⅛-inch thick. There is no need to peel the apples.
- Toss the apple slices with lemon juice to help prevent browning. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
- Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets. Make sure the slices do not overlap.
- Bake for 2½–4 hours, flipping the slices halfway through. The exact time will depend on the thickness and variety of the apples.
- Remove from the oven when the slices are dry and slightly chewy. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
