Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 170°F (77°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly grease the parchment. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, water, and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Gently submerge apple slices in the lime juice mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Let soak for 2 to 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Drain apple slices and discard the liquid. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Carefully arrange apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a small space (about 1/8-inch) between each slice. This will ensure even drying. Sprinkle the slices with a delicate pinch of fleur de sel. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 4 hours, or until the apple chips are dried and crisp. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven and the apple variety. Check frequently towards the end of baking to prevent burning. (240 minutes)

05

Step

Once baked, allow the apple chips to cool completely on the baking sheets before carefully peeling them from the parchment paper. They will crisp up further as they cool. (30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try using brown sugar instead of white sugar.
Experiment with different apple varieties to discover your favorite flavor combination. Honeycrisp or Fuji apples also work well.
Store cooled apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness.
For a fun twist, sprinkle the apple slices with a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of your favorite spice before baking.
