Servings: 1 | Suggested prep time: 5 minutes | Estimated cooking time: 8 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 medium apple
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Core the apple and carefully cut into very thin, even slices, about 1/16 inch.
  2. Arrange a small batch in one layer on microwave-safe parchment on a microwave-safe plate. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.
  3. Microwave 1 minute, then continue in 30-second bursts, watching closely, until slices begin to dry. Stop if browning excessively or scorching.
  4. Cool completely; slices may crisp as they cool. Repeat with the remaining slices.

Low-energy prep tip

Use an apple corer and prepare small batches; thin slicing still requires care.

Recipe notes

Results vary greatly by microwave and slice thickness; these may be chewy rather than crisp. Do not leave drying fruit unattended.

Dietary labels apply only when all packaged ingredients meet those requirements. Check labels and cross-contact guidance for your needs. Salt is optional where listed; follow your own care plan rather than using a recipe to set sodium intake.
