Fresh apples turn into a naturally sweet, healthy snack with this easy, oven-dried recipe. It's perfectly chewy, delicious, and ideal to enjoy year-round.
Use a mandoline to slice the apples on the thinnest setting. When using the mandoline, start at the bottom and slice through the core. If the seeds don't fall out, use a toothpick to pop them out.
Line 2 or 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Spread the apple slices out on the paper, avoiding any overlap. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the apples.
Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, flipping the apples once halfway through, removing them from the oven once they have dried out. If you notice that the apple slices are not dehydrating evenly, you can flip them more than once.
Let the apples cool on the sheets. The longer they cool, the crispier they will become.
