Crunchy Spiced Apple Crisps

These light, crisp snacks are incredibly easy to make and long lasting (at least 2 weeks), and they make eating fruit fun. I’ve tested these on a number of people, including some who dislike eating fruit, and they could not believe that the chips did not have any added sugar or oil.

1
Adjust the oven racks to the middle and upper rack positions and preheat the oven to 250°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2
Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the apples into 1⁄8-inch-thick slices. Transfer the apple slices to a medium-size bowl. Add the lemon juice and pumpkin pie spice and toss until well combined. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 2 to 3 hours, checking and turning the slices every 30 minutes. They are done when they are lightly brown and dry and still somewhat flexible.
3
Let the chips cool completely on the baking sheets. They will further dry out and become crunchy as they cool. Pack the chips in an airtight container or zipper-top plastic bag.
