Ingredients:

• 4 large apples: Choose a variety that's known for being good in pies, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrispice, for a sweeter taste.

Equipment:

• Homtone pizza oven with dehydrate function.
• Baking sheets or silicone baking mats.
• Parchment paper (optional, for easier cleanup).
• A sharp knife.
• Tongs or oven mitts for handling hot trays.
• Wire rack for cooling the chips.

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Apples

1. Wash the Apples: Rinse the apples thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residue.
2. Core and Slice: Using a sharp knife, core the apples and slice them as thinly and evenly as possible, about 1/8-inch (3mm) thick.

Step 2: Arrange the Apple Slices

1. Prepare the Baking Sheets: Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or use silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
2. Place Apple Slices: Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the baking sheets, making sure they don't overlap. Overlapping can cause uneven dehydration.

Step 3: Dehydrate the Apples

1. Dehydrate: Set your oven to the DEHYDRATE function at 200°F (93°C). This temperature will help remove moisture from the apple slices without burning them. Place the baking sheets with apple slices in the oven. Dehydrate for 2-3 hours, or until the apple slices are completely dry and crisp. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of your slices and the efficiency of your oven.

Step 4: Cool and Serve

1. Cool: Remove the apple chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes to allow any residual heat to dissipate.
2. Transfer: Once cooled, transfer the apple chips to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps maintain their crispness.
3. Serve: Enjoy your homemade dehydrated apple chips as they are or store them in an airtight container for later.

Tips for Dehydrated Apple Chips:

• Slice Uniformity: Try to keep the apple slices as uniform as possible for even dehydration.
• Monitoring: Check on your apple chips periodically to ensure they don't over-dehydrate.
• Storage: Store in an a cool, dry place to maintain their crispness. If they start to soften, you can dehydrate them a bit longer next time you want to enjoy them.
