Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 medium apple
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 300°F to prepare for cooking the apple slices evenly and to achieve a crispy texture.
- Slice the Apple: Cut the apple into very thin 1/8-inch slices, carefully removing and discarding the seeds, stem, and core to ensure smooth chips.
- Arrange Slices: Place the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overlap for even cooking. If you like, sprinkle the slices lightly with ground cinnamon for added flavor.
- Cook the Chips: Air fry the apple slices for a total of 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides become evenly crisp and golden.
- Cool and Serve: Once cooked, allow the apple chips to cool slightly so they crisp up further before enjoying as a healthy snack.
Notes
- Make sure apple slices are as thin as possible (about 1/8 inch) for the best crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Sprinkling cinnamon is optional but adds a warm, aromatic flavor.
- Cooling the chips after cooking helps them become crispier.
- Using a firm apple variety like Fuji or Granny Smith works best for chips.
