Baked cinnamon apple chips




I'm missing some east coast fall from out west. Big pumpkin patches. Cider doughnuts at Carter Mountain. Apple-picking in Ipswich. Admittedly, it does seem to be a produce-related problem. 

The solution: apple chips.



Ingredients

Granny Smith, Red Delicious, or Pink Lady apples*
Cinnamon

*One apple fills up an entire baking sheet.



1. Preheat the oven to 200F.

2. On its side, slice each apple as thinly as possible. Apples that are too thick won't bake up crispy.

3. Lay apple slices on a cookie sheet that is either lined with parchment paper or very lightly greased. Do not overlap slices.

4. Sprinkle with cinnamon to taste.

5. Bake apples for 1 hour.

6. Remove apples from oven. Turn each slice over.

7. Bake apples for 1 hour (2 hours in total).

8. Remove from oven. Let cool (and crisp!).




Note: This is not a sugary snack. Surprise: it tastes like apple.
