Enjoy the delightful crunch of homemade Air Fryer Apple Chips with a warm cinnamon twist. This guilt-free snack is easy to make and perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings!
Ingredients
- Apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, Granny Smith, or Gala)
- Ground cinnamon
- Sweetener (optional, such as sugar or stevia)
- Lemon juice
- Cooking oil (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Start by washing your apples thoroughly. Then, using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the apples thinly. Aim for about 1/8-inch thickness for the best texture.
- Remove the seeds: As you slice, be sure to remove any seeds and the core. You can use a small knife or an apple corer for this step.
- Toss with lemon juice: In a mixing bowl, toss the apple slices with a splash of lemon juice. This will not only prevent browning but also add a nice tang to the chips.
- Add cinnamon and sweetener: Sprinkle the cinnamon (and sugar, if using) over the apple slices. Toss everything together until the apples are evenly coated.
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes. This helps the chips cook more evenly.
- Arrange in the air fryer: Lay the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they cook properly.
- Air fry the chips: Cook the apple slices for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Keep an eye on them, as cooking time can vary based on the thickness of your slices and the model of your air fryer.
- Cool and enjoy: Once they’re golden brown and crisp, remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. They will crisp up even more as they cool!
