Method
* Wash and dry apples properly.
* Preheat the oven to 160 degrees.
* Core the apples with a corer or a knife. Do not peel them.
* Slice the apples as thin as you can with a knife or slicer.
* Line the baking pan with parchment paper.
* Place the slices on the baking pan, one next to the other without any overlap.
* Bake the slices for about 15-20 minutes. Now turn over each slice and continue to bake for another 10 minutes or so until they become crispy. The crispness will depend on the heat of your oven and the moisture of the apples so best to use your discretion while checking on them, as Raichand suggested.
* Once the chips are properly baked, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle some chaat masala on them and have them immediately before they turn soggy as they may if left in the open for long.
