Making apple chips in the air fryer is simple. A little heat and air are all you need. We'll show you how to achieve perfectly crisp chips with just a few ingredients. The method hinges on consistent thickness, and the results are great.
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 medium apples (any variety, Honeycrisp and Fuji work great)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Optional: 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Steps
- 01Core the apples. A dedicated apple corer makes this fast, but you can also quarter them and cut the core out of each piece.
- 02Slice into very thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline is ideal here. Knife works if you go slow and keep it consistent.
- 03Toss the slices with cinnamon and sugar if using.
- 04Lay in a single layer. These need space and time. Don't overlap them.
- 05Ready for the air fryer. These take longer than you'd expect and need to be checked frequently.
Thickness consistency is everything. A 1/8-inch slice becomes a crispy chip. A 1/4-inch slice becomes a chewy dried apple. Both are fine, but know which one you're making. The mandoline is worth pulling out for this recipe.
