Ingredients
  

3 large apples (recommended: Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for tartness)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Cooking spray or parchment paper for baking

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200°F (95°C). This low temperature is essential for gently drying out the apple slices, ensuring they become crispy without burning.

    Prepare the Apples: Rinse the apples under cold water and pat them dry with a towel. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, carefully remove the core and slice the apples into thin rounds, ideally about 1/8 inch thick. This thickness promotes optimal crispiness.

      Make the Maple Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until the cinnamon is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

        Coat the Apple Slices: Transfer the apple slices into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the prepared maple glaze over the slices. Gently toss them with your hands or a spatula, ensuring that each slice is thoroughly coated with the sweet, spiced mixture.

          Arrange on Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy removal. Alternatively, lightly spray the sheets with cooking spray. Spread the apple slices in a single layer across the sheets, taking care not to let them overlap, as this will affect the crispiness.

            Bake: Slide the trays into the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping the apple slices halfway through the baking process. Watch closely during the last stages to prevent burning; the chips are ready when they appear dry and crisp.

              Cool & Serve: Once the apple chips are finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets. They will firm up and become even crispier as they cool. Serve them as a delightful snack on their own, or use them as a flavorful topping for salads and desserts!
