Enjoy a delightful and healthy snack with these Spiced Apple Crisps, perfect for any time of the day.
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and nutmeg.
Mixing the spices beforehand ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Using a mandoline slicer, thinly slice the apples into uniform rounds, discarding the seeds.
Uniform slices help the apples bake evenly.
Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet.
Avoid overlapping the slices to ensure they crisp up properly.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the apple slices.
Use a fine sieve for an even sprinkle of spices.
Bake the apple slices in the preheated oven, turning them every 30 minutes, for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they are dry and crisp.
Keep an eye on the slices during the last 30 minutes to prevent over-browning.
Remove the crisps from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents sogginess by allowing air circulation.
Serve the Spiced Apple Crisps as a snack or store them in an airtight container for later.
These crisps make a great topping for oatmeal or yogurt.
