Apple chips
These apple chips are not just a delicious dessert but also an ideal snack for healthy food lovers. They crunch in your mouth without leaving any greasy marks as they are made without a single drop of oil. The light acidity of lemon juice not only prevents the apples from browning but also adds freshness to them. The combination with sweet cinnamon gives an aroma of a magical garden on an autumn day. Try these chips for breakfast or while watching your favorite series, and you will immediately feel the mundanity disappearing.
Add a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom to the cinnamon for a spicier aroma. Instead of sugar, use stevia or coconut sugar if you are controlling sugar intake. Make salty chips: do not add sugar, but sprinkle with a pinch of salt and ground rosemary.
Slice the apples as thinly and evenly as possible so that the chips dry simultaneously. To make the chips truly crunchy, let them cool completely on a rack. Do not rush to increase the temperature: slow drying better dehydrates the apples inside.
Use firm, juicy apples of sweet-and-sour varieties, as they hold their shape and provide a rich flavor. Lemon juice prevents apples from darkening and adds a light tang. Cinnamon should be freshly ground or from a good spice mix for a brighter aroma.
Ensure that slices do not overlap, otherwise, they will dry unevenly. Drying time may vary in different ovens, base it on the degree of crispiness. Store ready chips only after full cooling, otherwise, moisture may accumulate inside.
