-
Heat the oven to 100°C / 210°F (80°C / 175°F fan) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
-
Stir the lemon juice into the water in a large bowl. Slice the apples crosswise into rounds 2 to 3 mm thick, dropping them into the water as you go. Drain and pat dry with a clean tea towel.
-
Lay the slices on the trays in a single layer without overlapping and dust with the cinnamon.
-
Bake for 90 minutes, turning the slices and swapping the trays halfway, until dry and just starting to curl. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes; they crisp as they cool.
Small Things That Help
- Use a mandoline for even slices; uneven ones dry at different rates.
- If some slices are still soft, return them to the oven for 10 minutes while the others cool.
