This is how I make dried apple chips in my oven that are truly addictive. You can't just eat one. But at least they're healthy!

Step 1 of 7

First I gather my supplies. I want to work rather quickly so the apple slices don't oxidize before I get them into the oven.

Step 2 of 7

I work with one apple at a time because the amount you need all depends on the size of the apples. So first I core the apple.

Step 3 of 7

Next I slice the apple on the 3.0mm setting on a Kyocera mandolin.

Step 4 of 7

Then I place the slices on a silpat in a baking sheet. I want to get as many slices on 1 sheet as possible. So they are touching but not overlapping. If they overlap they will stick together.

Step 5 of 7

I place the baking sheets in the top 3rd of the oven (or bottom if it heats from top) and bake @ 200 degrees for 2 1/2 hours, switching sheets @ 75 minutes to ensure even drying.

Step 6 of 7

Remove from oven and let cool for 10 - 15 minutes.

Step 7 of 7

Store in airtight container (I prefer glass). Apple Crack will last 4-6 weeks, though they start to lose their crunch after 2 weeks. Of course when I make them for friends they disappear immediately!

You're Done!

Great snack... Will make them, but I like granny smith apples for this with cinnamon.. Call me crazy lol..

Farook Jr Mohammed last year

That makes sense :) I think I am going to try some with cinnamon and keep you updated! :)

Melinda, with the right apples they do not need any sugar because they are already very sweet. I haven't tried cinnamon yet. Please let me know how it works if you do.
