Ingredients

  • 1 apple
  • 1 pear
  • 3/4 cup sugar

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200 degrees. Place a Silpat (French nonstick baking mat) or parchment paper on a baking sheet. Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, slice apple and pears into very thin translucent rounds (slice pears lengthwise). Do not remove seeds or cores.

  2. Place sugar on a plate; dip both sides of fruit slices into sugar to coat. Transfer slices to baking sheet.

  3. Bake until edges begin to ruffle, about 1 hour. Turn slice over and continue baking until golden brown, about 1 hour more.

  4. Transfer chips in a single layer to a wire rack to cool and harden.
