Better-Than-Store-Bought Apple Chips

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened apple juice (if possible, juice your own from about 5-6 large apples)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 large apples
  • ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over high heat, combine apple juice and cinnamon stick. Bring to a low boil.
  2. Remove top and bottom of apple and slice crosswise to make 1/8 thick “chips.” Discard any seeds.
  3. Carefully drop apple slices into boiling juice and cook 4-5 minutes. Apple slices will appear translucent.
  4. Use a slotted spoon to remove apple slices from juice and place on a clean cloth towel. Pat dry.
  5. Place dried apple chips on a wire cooling rack placed on a cookie sheet (this will catch any drips).
  6. Bake 30-40 minutes until apple slices turn golden brown and are almost dry to the touch.
