Ingredients
- 1 Apple (Fuji recommended, but any apple will work)
- Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- Wash your apple and cut it into 1/8” slices. Use a mandoline for perfectly even slices.
- Cover both sides of the apple slices generously with ground cinnamon.
- Place the cinnamon-covered apple slices on the air fryer rack in a single layer (do not overlap them).
- Set the air fryer to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius) for 20 minutes. Stop and flip the slices at each 5-minute mark to ensure even cooking.
- Once the timer is up, let the apple chips cool for several minutes until they are hard in texture. This cooling process is crucial for crispiness! If they still feel soft, pop them back in the air fryer for 2-minute increments until you reach your desired crispness.
Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Apple Chips
- Apple Variety: I prefer Fuji apples because they are naturally crisp and sweet, but feel free to use your favorite apple variety. Honeycrisp, Gala, or even Granny Smith apples work well.
- Skin On: I recommend leaving the skin on the apple slices. It provides extra nutrients, fiber, and a satisfying added crunch!
- Even Slices: Aim for uniform 1/8″ thick slices so they cook evenly. A mandoline slicer can be very helpful for achieving this consistency.
- Cooling is Key: The cooling process is essential! The apple chips will continue to firm up as they cool. Be patient and let them sit for a few minutes after air frying.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy Air Fryer Apple Chips! This is a perfect healthy snack that the whole family will love.
