Super easy and crunchy snack for everyone, this air fryer chips are healthy too! No sweeteners, no oil, just fruit and cinnamon. Ready in less then 20 minutes from start to finish.
A while ago i tried some yummy apple chips they sell in Costco. They were crunchy, sweet, healthy and just delicious. My kids loved it so as my husband and me. I had this idea of trying to make it at home. I don’t have a dehydrator (yet) so i tried to make them in my air fryer.
How to prepare apples for the air fryer
Choose variety of apples like Fuji, Golden delicious, pink lady or other juicy and sweet kinds. Wash them really well .
Using a sharp knife cut even thin slices (as thin as you can). Its important to cut apples thin and even so they cook evenly. Thin slices take less time to get crunchy.
If you have a slicer, use it. I don’t have one so i just tried to measure the thickness with my eye. I left the core inside, you can remove it with special tool or just try to cut it out with a small sharp knife.
Optionally you can cut an apple in half and remove the core this way. Chips will get smaller but the flavor will remain the same. Try it!
Ingredients
1 apple
pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
Slice apple using a mandolin on a thinnest setting. Or cut by hand but be ready to cook those slices a bit longer.*
Place apple slices in to the air fryer basket. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Cook on 300 degrees for 15 minutes. Shake apple chips and rotate them inside the basket once or twice.
They should crisp right in the air fryer. If not, let them sit on the counter for a few minutes after the cooking is done, it will help them to get hard and crisp up.
Notes
* Leave the skin on the apple. You don’t have to core it either.
