Ingredients
  

For the Apple Chips:

2 large apples (such as Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier option)

For the Cinnamon Dip:

½ cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (your choice)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by setting your oven to 200°F (95°C). This low heat is crucial for effectively dehydrating the apple slices to a perfect crisp.

    Prepare the Apples:

      - Core and thinly slice the apples into rounds about 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer will ensure uniformity and optimal crispiness.

        - Place the sliced apples in a bowl and drizzle the lemon juice over them. Toss gently to coat and prevent browning.

          Mix the Cinnamon Sugar:

            - In a small mixing bowl, blend the granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon. Stir thoroughly to achieve an even mix.

              Coat the Apple Slices:

                - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the sheet, ensuring none are overlapping.

                  - Generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apple slices, aiming for even coverage.

                    Bake:

                      - Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping the apple slices halfway through the cooking time. Keep an eye on them as they bake, adjusting the time as needed until they are crisp but not burnt. Remember, baking times can vary based on the thickness of the slices and their moisture content.

                        Prepare the Cinnamon Dip:

                          - While the apple chips are baking, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Mix until the dip is smooth and well integrated.

                            Cool and Serve:

                              - Once the apple chips are crisp, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the chips to cool completely before serving. Pair your crunchy apple chips with the sweet cinnamon yogurt dip for a delightful and satisfying snack.
