Steps:
- Place racks in the upper and lower thirds of your oven and preheat your oven to 200 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
- Wash the apples. With an apple corer, very small cookie cutter, or the round side of a metal piping tip, core the apples (you can also skip this step if you don't mind a few seeds in the chips). With a mandolin (recommended) or a very sharp knife, slice the apples horizontally into 1/8 inch-thick rounds.
- Arrange the apples in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake for 1 hour in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Remove the baking sheets and switch the pans' position on the upper and lower racks. Continue baking for 1 to 1 1/2 additional hours, until a single apple chip removed from the oven is crisp when set out at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes (to test the apple chips, remove a single apple slice but let the others continue baking). Once you are happy with the crispness (the total time will vary based on the thickness of your slice and the type of apple), turn off the oven and let the apples sit in the oven for 1 hour as it cools down to crisp further (unless you fear you overcooked them, in which case remove the pan immediately and let it sit at room temperature).

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: For the best results, use firm, crisp apples that are not too ripe. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
- Slice the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to slice the apples into thin, even slices.
- Toss the apples with spices: This will add flavor to the chips. You can use cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or any other spices that you like.
- Bake the apples at a low temperature: This will help them to dry out without burning. Bake the apples at 200°F (93°C) for 1-2 hours, or until they are crispy.
- Store the apple chips properly: Store the apple chips in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
