Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith)
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash & Slice: Wash and thoroughly dry the apples. Using a mandolin slicer or a sharp knife, carefully slice the apples into thin 1/8 inch slices to ensure even crispness during cooking.
  2. Sprinkle Cinnamon: If desired, sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the apple slices. Use your hands to rub the cinnamon into each slice, enhancing the flavor with a subtle spice.
  3. Arrange for Air Frying: Lay the apple slices in a single layer on the air fryer tray, making sure none overlap. This helps the air circulate evenly for perfectly crisp chips. You may need to do this in multiple batches depending on your air fryer size.
  4. Air Fry: Cook the apple slices at 300°F (150°C) in the air fryer for about 15-20 minutes. Check around 10 minutes and flip each slice carefully to ensure both sides crisp evenly. Continue cooking until the chips are dry and crispy but not burnt.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the apple chips from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack. Cooling helps them crisp up further. Serve once completely cool, or store in an airtight container for snacking later.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith for best results, as they hold their shape and crisp better.
  • Thickness of slices is key; too thick and chips won’t crisp fully, too thin and they may burn.
  • Adjust air frying time based on your device’s power; check frequently towards the end to prevent burning.
  • Optional cinnamon adds flavor and pairs well with apple, but you can omit or substitute with nutmeg or pumpkin spice.
  • Store leftover apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness for up to a week.
