Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 large apples, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Wash and core the apples, then use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer to cut them into thin, even slices about 1/8 inch thick, removing any seeds.
- Season: Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on a large bowl or baking sheet and sprinkle evenly with ground cinnamon, tossing gently to coat all slices.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) and let it preheat for 3 to 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry the Apple Chips: Place the apple slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until the apples are dry, crisp, and golden around the edges. Monitor closely near the end to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the apple chips from the air fryer and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack; they will continue to crisp up as they cool. Serve as a crunchy snack or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
Notes
- Choose firm apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for best texture and flavor.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity to your taste preference.
- If slices are thicker, increase air frying time slightly and check frequently.
- Ensure slices are in a single layer to cook evenly.
- Store apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crunchiness.
