Servings: 2 servings

- Air Fry the Apple Slices: Add half of the apple slices to the basket of a 6-quart Air Fryer, placing them in multiple layers. Cook on 320°F for 11-12 minutes, flipping them over every 4 minutes. Be sure to completely remove the top layers so you can reach the bottom layer of slices.
- Remove from Heat: During the last few minutes of cooking, start removing the lightly browned and firm chips. It’s OK if they are not completely crispy yet, the apple chips will continue to crisp up for a minute after they are removed from the air fryer. Repeat the above steps with the remaining apple slices.
- Enjoy apple chips immediately or store in a container that is loosely sealed. Do not make it air-tight as the chips will get soggy.
Notes
Prep-Ahead Instructions
These chips are best when made and enjoyed immediately. But you can store them if needed.
Storage Directions
Let them cool completely and then keep in a container at room temperature that is loosely sealed for up to 2-3 days. Do not make it air-tight as the chips will get soggy. To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer for a minute or two to crisp them back up.
Recipe Tips
- The sweeter, the better. Choose naturally sweet varieties such as Fuji or Gala for these cinnamon apple chips.
- Slice it right. You don't want them too thick or too thin. Pull out that ruler, 1/32" is the perfect thickness!
- Keep an eye on them. Smaller chips will cook up quicker. Be sure to check on the chips during the last few minutes of cooking and remove the ones that are turning brown.
- Sprinkle some cinnamon. Add a little more flavor to this perfect healthy snack once they're done cooking.
- Loosely seal them. Place in a ziplock bag but only zip it up halfway. If it's zipped all the way up, the chips will get soft.
