Crispy, sweet, and healthy air fryer apple chips with cinnamon. Made with just two ingredients and ready in about 20 minutes, these chips are perfect for snacking, lunchboxes, or satisfying a crunchy craving without guilt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, Granny Smith, Gala, or Braeburn)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (Ceylon or Cassia)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry your apples thoroughly.
  2. Core the apples using an apple corer or by cutting into quarters and removing the core with a knife.
  3. Slice the apples thinly, aiming for about 1/8 inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer for consistent slices.
  4. Pat the apple slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  5. Place the slices in a mixing bowl, sprinkle cinnamon over them, and toss gently until evenly coated.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for about 3 minutes.
  7. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
  8. Cook at 300°F (150°C) for 8 minutes. At the 4-minute mark, flip each slice using tongs.
  9. After 8 minutes, check for doneness. The edges should be curling and golden brown.
  10. Turn off the air fryer and let the slices rest in the basket for 2-3 minutes.
  11. Transfer the chips to a wire rack and cool completely for at least 5 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool.
  12. Repeat with remaining slices, letting the air fryer come back to temperature between batches if needed.

Notes

For best results, use firm apples and slice uniformly at 1/8 inch thick. Dry slices thoroughly before cooking to ensure crispiness. Let chips cool completely on a wire rack before storing. If chips soften, re-crisp in the air fryer at 300°F for 2-3 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
