Health Benefits of the Main Ingredients

• Apples: Apples are loaded with fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C, which help support digestive health, boost immunity, and keep your skin looking radiant. Plus, the natural sweetness makes them a perfect base for a healthy snack. Their high water content also keeps you hydrated and full—no more mid-afternoon hunger pangs!

• Cinnamon: Cinnamon is a powerful spice that can help stabilize blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, and even boost brain function. It’s also great for heart health and has been shown to improve digestion. That warm, comforting cinnamon flavor isn’t just delicious—it’s doing wonders for your body.

• Sea Salt: A tiny sprinkle of sea salt might seem like a small addition, but it really helps bring out the sweetness of the apples and the warmth of the cinnamon. Plus, it helps balance electrolytes, which is important for staying hydrated and energized.

Recipe and Instructions

Ingredients:

• 2 large apples (any variety you like!)

• 1 tablespoon cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, but helps keep the apples fresh and adds a zesty kick!)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). This low temperature helps to dry out the apples, creating that perfect crispiness without burning them.

2. Slice the apples very thinly using a sharp knife or mandolin. You want the slices to be as even as possible for consistent crispiness.

3. Lay the apple slices out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sea salt evenly over the apples. If you’re using lemon juice, drizzle it over the slices for an extra zing.

5. Bake in the oven for about 2 hours, flipping the slices halfway through. The apple chips are ready when they’re golden brown and crispy to the touch.

6. Let the apple chips cool completely before serving or storing. They will crisp up even more as they cool!

7. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, and they’ll stay fresh for up to a week.
