Ingredients
Scale
Apples
- 2 medium apples (Fuji or Honeycrisp work well)
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Others
- Olive oil spray (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Wash and core the apples. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the apples into very thin rounds about â…› inch thick. Pat the slices dry carefully with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which helps them crisp better.
- Mix the seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly. This mixture will add a sweet and warm flavor to the chips.
- Season the apple slices: Lightly spray the apple slices with olive oil if desired to help the cinnamon sugar stick and promote even crisping. Then sprinkle both sides of each apple slice with the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
- Air fry the apple chips: Arrange the slices in a single layer in your air fryer basket; you may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry at 300°F (approximately 150°C) for 15 to 18 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time. Watch the chips closely in the last few minutes to avoid burning, and cook until they are crisp and golden.
- Cool and store: Remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool completely on a wire rack or plate. They will crisp up further as they cool. Store the cooled apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and crunch.
Notes
- For a no sugar added version, skip the cinnamon sugar mixture and enjoy the apple slices plain.
- Thinner apple slices produce crispier chips; aim for about â…› inch thickness.
- Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin spice for a delicious variation on the cinnamon sugar flavor.
