Ingredients
Scale
2 large apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala are good choices)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C).
Wash and core the apples. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds extra nutrients and texture.
Slice the apples very thinly, about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer is helpful for uniform slices, but a sharp knife works too.
In a bowl, toss the apple slices with cinnamon until evenly coated.
Arrange the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; you may need to cook in batches.
Air fry for 8-12 minutes.
Flip the apple slices and air fry for another 8-12 minutes, or until they are crisp and slightly browned. Cooking time will vary depending on your air fryer and the thickness of your apple slices.
Remove the apple chips from the air fryer and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Notes
For best results, use firm, crisp apples.
Ensure the apple slices are dry before tossing with cinnamon.
Store cooled apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
