Air Fryer Apple Chips
Description
To make Air Fryer Apple Chips, apples such as Granny Smith are sliced very thinly, then tossed with ground cinnamon, nutmeg, a pinch of salt, and optionally brown sugar for mild sweetness. The slices are arranged in a single layer in the air fryer basket to prevent sticking or overlapping, which helps them crisp evenly.
Cooking at 350°F for about 8-12 minutes with occasional turning and flattening produces chips that are crispy yet retain the apple's natural flavor. Cooling on a wire rack prevents sogginess. The spices add warmth and complexity to the tartness of the apples.
This recipe delivers an easy homemade snack that captures apple pie flavors in a crispy, portable form without frying or baking.
Ingredients
- 2 apple I used Granny Smith
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar optional
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Using a very sharp knife, or a mandolin thinly slice the apples.
- Add them to a large bowl and add cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and salt. Toss to combine.
- Arrange the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, make sure the slices do not touch each other. If you have a small trivet on hand, place it on top of the slices so they do not fly in the air fryer.
- Cook for 8-12 minutes, turning and flattening them at least 2 times during the cooking process. Cook until crisp.
- Remove the apple chips and place them on a wire rack to cool.
- Repeat with the rest of the apple slices.
