Caramelized Apple Chips

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a wire rack with cooking spray and place in a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan.

Step 2

Bring sugar and water to boil in a medium saucepan and stir frequently.

Step 3

Using a mandoline, slice apples into 1/16-inch thick slices.

Step 4

Quickly, before they start to brown, place apples in boiling sugar mixture. Turn heat down to a simmer. Cook apples, stirring often, until translucent and syrup starts to thicken, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from heat and quickly remove apples from syrup 1 at a time using tongs and place flat on wire rack set inside jelly roll pan. Discard excess syrup.

Step 6

Bake apples 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden. Transfer to lightly greased wax paper. They will feel soft at this point but will crisp up as they cool.
