Cook Time: 2 hrs
Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 4 large apples, thinly sliced
  2. 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  3. 1 tablespoon sugar
  4. 1 cup caramel sauce
  5. 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 225°F (107°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper, ensuring the surface is completely covered.
  2. Wash the apples thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Using a mandoline slicer or a very sharp knife, slice the apples extremely thin (approximately 1/8 inch thick), removing seeds and stem.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar together to create a uniform spice blend.
  4. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the apple slices.
  5. Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for
  6. 5 to 2 hours. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through cooking to ensure even drying.
  7. Check the apple chips periodically. They are done when they are crisp and can be easily lifted from the parchment paper. The edges should be slightly curled and golden brown.
  8. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the apple chips cool completely on the baking sheets. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
  9. For the salted caramel dip, warm the caramel sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the sea salt until well combined.
  10. Transfer the cooled apple chips to a serving platter and serve alongside the warm salted caramel dip.
  11. Store any leftover apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Store the caramel dip in the refrigerator.

Tips

  1. Choose the Right Apples: Firm, crisp varieties like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji work best for achieving that perfect chip texture.
  2. Slice Consistently: Use a mandoline slicer for uniform, paper-thin slices that will dry evenly and create a professional-looking result.
  3. Pat Apples Dry: Ensure your apple slices are completely dry before seasoning to help them crisp up more effectively.
  4. Low and Slow is the Key: The low oven temperature is crucial for dehydrating the apples without burning them.
  5. Watch Carefully: Oven temperatures can vary, so start checking your chips around the
  6. 5-hour mark to prevent over-browning.
  7. Cool Completely: Let chips cool entirely on the baking sheet to achieve maximum crispness.
  8. Store Smartly: Keep chips in an airtight container to maintain their crunch and enjoy within 3 days.
