Ingredients
- 2 large apples
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Step 1: Wash and thinly slice the apples into uniform rounds, removing any seeds.
- Step 2: Lightly sprinkle the apple slices with ground cinnamon.
- Step 3: Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap.

Tips & Variations

- If your apple slices are thicker, increase air frying time slightly to achieve crispness.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 large apples (such as Granny Smith or Fuji)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Slice the apples: Wash and core the apples, then slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/8 inch thick to ensure they cook evenly.
- Prepare for air frying: Sprinkle the apple slices evenly with ground cinnamon, coating both sides for full flavor.
- Air fry the apple slices: Arrange the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. Air fry at 300°F (150°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are crisp and lightly browned at the edges.
- Cool and serve: Remove the apple chips from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack. The chips will crisp further as they cool. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- Slicing apples thinly and evenly is key to getting uniformly crisp chips.
- You can use any apple variety, but firmer apples like Granny Smith or Fuji yield the best texture.
- If you prefer sweeter chips, sprinkle a small amount of sugar along with cinnamon before air frying.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and apple thickness.
- Store completely cooled chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
