FAQs
Q: Can I use frozen apple slices? A: Fresh apple slices work best. Frozen slices release water and may not crisp well.
Q: Do I need to peel the apples? A: No. You can leave the skin on. It adds texture and color.
Q: Can I use another oil instead of coconut oil spray? A: Yes. Lightly mist with any neutral cooking spray or brush with a little melted oil.
Q: How thin should I slice the apples? A: Aim for about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick or thinner for best crispness.
