Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons coconut sugar (or white sugar)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200°F (95°C). For easier cleanup, line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.

    Prepare the Apples: Rinse the apples under cool water, making sure to scrub the skins. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the apples thinly to about 1/8 inch thickness. As you slice, remove any visible seeds to ensure a pleasant eating experience.

      Add Lemon Juice: In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices with the lemon juice. Gently toss the slices to coat them evenly, which will help to prevent browning and enhance the overall flavor of the chips.

        Create the Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ground cinnamon, coconut sugar, and sea salt until the mixture is well combined. This blend will provide a sweet and aromatic flavor to your apple chips.

          Coat the Apple Slices: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the lemon-coated apple slices. Toss them gently once more, ensuring each slice is evenly coated with the delicious cinnamon mixture.

            Arrange on Baking Sheets: Spread the coated apple slices out on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. It's important to avoid overlapping the slices, as this will allow them to bake evenly and become crispy.

              Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven, and bake the apple slices for about 1.5 to 2 hours. It’s a good idea to flip the apple slices halfway through the baking time for even crispness. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes, as they can quickly transition from perfectly crispy to burnt.

                Cool and Store: After baking, the apple chips should be golden and crispy. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the sheets. Once cooled, transfer the chips to an airtight container to maintain their crunchiness.

                    - Presentation Tips: Serve the apple chips in a decorative bowl, perhaps garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few slices of fresh apple for a charming display. Consider pairing with a dip like peanut butter or yogurt for a delightful snack!
