Homemade Apple Chips
4 medium-large apples (approx 1.5 pounds)
1 quart unfiltered apple juice or cider
2 cinnamon sticks
1) Preheat oven to 250 degrees
2) Combine apple juice and cinnamon sticks in a large pot with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3) While the juice is heating up, slice apples (no need to peel) - either slice on a mandoline, or with a sharp knife. I like them through the core so that you see the star shape where the seeds were. This part of the activity is best left to an adult, not a child.
4) Once the juice comes to a boil, add the apple slices and stir occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
5) Take out of the pot with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels or clean kitchen towels to absorb extra juice.
6) Spread the slices in a single layer on wire cooling racks and place in the oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until light golden brown. If you don’t have cooling racks, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment and flip after 15-20 minutes.
7) Let cool completely and enjoy! Store in an airtight container if you have any leftovers.
- Serve any excess juice as a delicious hot apple cider!
