Cosmic Crisp® Apple Chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 200°F.

Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Thinly slice Cosmic Crisp® apples using a mandolin, to 1/16 inch, or with a knife. Remove the seeds from the individual slices. Spread the apple slices onto the lined baking sheets making one single layer. About 15 slices should fit on a half sheet pan. Bake for 1 hour, then flip the apples and bake until crisp, an additional 1 hour. To test the doneness, remove the apples from the oven and allow to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes. If the apples are not crunchy, continue baking the chips in 15-minute increments.
Remove the apples from the baking sheets and allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Additional flavor: Sift 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar into a bowl. Add 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon to the powdered sugar and gently whisk to combine. Transfer the cinnamon and sugar mixture into a sifter. Gently sprinkle each apple slice with a thin coating of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Turn the apple slices over and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
