This is my third dried fruit (banana & strawberry)and I think my (and Harry’s) favourite. The cooking time really depends on how you like it, I dried half for 2 hours and the other half a little over 2.5 hours. You can eat them softer like you would find in most dried fruit bags, or really crisp them up – both lovely. 

Make a little dried fruit bag, great for school or daycare lunches. 

Tip: try sprinkling some cinnamon on a couple of slices for something different.

Tip: Apple chips are best eaten fresh when they are crisp and delicious. Store in an airtight container.

Ingredients

• 2 apples, cored and peeled
• Lemon juice (to coat)

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to between 80°C - 100°C -

Step 2

Slice the apple into 2-3mm thick pieces (as thin as you can - I used a mandolin) and
place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.  -

Step 3

Brush each slice with lemon and place in the oven for around 2hours (turn them half way to speed up the process). -

Step 4

Once you have desired texture, remove the apples from the oven (they will continue to crisp on cooling). -
