Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Cover two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Slice the apples thin using a mandolin or sharp knife. Lay them out in a single row on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Bake for 1 hour. Flip the apples and cook for 1 more hour.
Turn the oven off with apples still in it. Let the apple chips stay in the oven with the door closed while the oven cools.

I have baked these both on parchment paper and on silicone mats. I honestly prefer parchment paper because they crisp better and they curl more, making a better appearance. Plus, cleanup is easier with parchment paper.
You can add a sprinkle of sugar, but apples are naturally sweet, so for the best flavor, I use cinnamon.
For ease in cutting, I use my mandoline slicer to slice apples for this recipe. I have two straight slicer blades. One is 2mm, and the other is 5mm. I find that the 2mm works much better.
These chips are best enjoyed right out of the oven as the humidity in the air will rehydrate them a little bit. They are still delicious, but they will be somewhat chewy.
You can use any apple to make apple chips. However, my three favorites are Braeburn, Pink Lady (also known as Cripps Pink), and Granny Smith. They crisp better and curl more, making a great appearance.
Store apples in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
