Air Fryer Apple Chips
Description
Apple slices are cut uniformly thin using a mandoline or sharp knife to ensure even cooking. They are tossed with ground cinnamon for a subtle spiced flavor. In the air fryer, slices are cooked at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, turned and flattened multiple times to promote crispness without burning. Alternatively, they can be baked more slowly at 225°F for 45-60 minutes until dried and edges curl.
The resulting chips are lightly crisp with some chew upon removal but fully crisp after cooling. The cinnamon adds a warm aroma and flavor that complements the fruity sweetness of the apples without overpowering them.
These chips store well in an airtight container at room temperature for about one week, making them convenient for snacking. Adjusting slice thickness and cooking times helps achieve the desired texture given variations in air fryer models and apple types.
Ingredients
- 1 apple
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Air Fryer version:
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degres F / 180 degrees C.
- Thinly slice the apple using either a mandolin or a sharp knife.
- Add apple slices to a bowl and combine with cinnamon.
- Transfer half of the spiced apple slices to the air fryer basket, arranging in a single layer.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning and flattening them at least 2 times during the cooking process.
- Remove the cooked apple chips, and then repeat the process with the rest of the apple slices.
Oven version:
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees F / 110 degrees C.
- Thinly slice the apple using either a mandolin or a sharp knife.
- Add apple slices to a bowl and combine with cinnamon.
- Arrange slices in a single layer on a metal baking sheet.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, until the apple chips are dried and edges curl up.
- Using a spatula, transfer onto a wire rack until fully cooled and crispy.
Notes
- Use a mandoline or very sharp knife to cut apple slices evenly to promote uniform cooking.
- Avoid slicing too thin to prevent burning before crisping; group slices by thickness and cook accordingly.
- Remove slices that cook faster early to prevent overcooking others.
- Apple chips may not be fully crisp immediately after cooking but will crisp as they cool.
- Store cooled apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7-9 days.
