Ingredients
Apple peels from about 2 kg/4.4 lb of apples
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 100° C (212° F).
Cut the apple peels into cubes of equal size (about the size of a thumbnail). This step is important because this size they dry more evenly than apple peel curls.
Spread them evenly on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake them for about 1.5 hours. I open the oven door every now and then (about every 20 minutes) to get rid of the excess moisture.
The apple peel chips are ready when they start to brown slightly. I watch them carefully after 1 hour in the oven because they will change within minutes from "slightly brown" to "very brown" (the latter state tastes rather burned).
Allow to cool completely, then store in an airtight container, e.g. a jam jar. If they are left open for too long, they lose their crispness. The apple peel chips can be stored for several weeks.
