Baked Cinnamon-Sugar Pear Chips

I made this easy recipe for baked cinnamon-sugar pear chips because I had a few pears on the kitchen counter that none of us were eating. I used my mandolin and cut them thin, sprinkled the tops with a cinnamon-sugar mixture, and baked them at a low temperature until they were dried and crispy. We all thought these homemade pear chips were delicious and enjoyed them before dinner, where the bowlful disappeared quickly.

Baked Cinnamon-Sugar Pear Chips

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp sugar
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 2 pears, sliced thinly with a mandoline

How to Make Baked Cinnamon-Sugar Pear Chips

Preheat the oven to 225 degrees.  Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Combine the sugar and cinnamon; mix well.

Using a mandoline, cut the pears very thinly.

Remove any seeds from any of the slices.

Place the pear slices on the baking sheet(s) in an even layer.

Sprinkle the top with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Place in the oven to bake for 2½-3 hours, or until dried and crisp (they will get crisper when cooling).

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire cooling rack. Enjoy!
