Ingredients
- 2 cups sliced organic apples
- 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil
- 1/2 -1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch unrefined pink salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Slice apple with a mandolin as thin as possible and place on a parchment paper lined 28x33 centimeter baking sheet. If you don’t own a mandolin then you can slice by hand but it needs to be very thin to create the chip like texture.
- Add oil, salt and spice and stir well. Bake until crispy but not burnt, about 40-45 minutes. The chips brown quickly once dry so be sure to start checking it 35 minutes to be safe. Every oven is different so it may take less or more time so adjust accordingly.
- Store in an air-tight container for up to four weeks.
