Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 to 3 lemons, juiced
- 2 small apples, preferably a crisp, flavorful variety like Royal Gala or Winesap, washed and dried
Method
- In a small pot, combine the water and sugar and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Set aside to cool.
- Place the apples on a flat surface.
- Using a mandoline or sharp knife, cut each one, placing the core end of the apple in front of the blade, into rounds as thin as you can manage.
- Remove any seeds as you cut and sprinkle them with lemon juice.
- Submerge the apple slices in the syrup and allow them to "rest" for a few hours or, even better, overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Remove some of the apples from the syrup and lightly dry them on a kitchen towel.
- Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet with parchment or on a tray fitted with a baking rack.
- Note: you may want to place something heavy, like a metal spoon, at each end of the paper to prevent the paper from folding over as the chips bake.
- Bake in the oven until crispy, about 1 hour.
