Ingredients
  

  • 2 apples apples I used Granny Smith
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar optional
  • Pinch salt

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Food Processor
  • Air Fryer
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F. This is crucial for achieving that perfect crunch, so don’t skip this step!
  2. Using a very sharp knife or a mandolin, thinly slice the apples. Aim for slices that are about an eighth of an inch thick; this ensures they cook evenly and get nice and crispy.
  3. In a large bowl, add the sliced apples along with the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar (if using), and a pinch of salt. Toss everything together until the apple slices are evenly coated with the mixture.
  4. Next, arrange the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It’s important that the slices do not touch each other; otherwise, they will steam rather than crisp up. If you have a small trivet, you can place it on top of the slices to keep them flat.
  5. Cook the apple chips for 8 to 12 minutes, turning and flattening them at least two times during the cooking process to ensure they cook evenly. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid burning!
  6. Once they are crisp, remove the chips from the air fryer and place them on a wire rack to cool. This will keep them crispy as they cool down.
  7. Repeat the process with the remaining apple slices until all are cooked. Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen!

Notes

As with any recipe, there are always a few extra tips to make the process even smoother. Here are some insights tailored for your Air Fryer Apple Chips.
  • Storage: Store any leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed fresh but can last a few days.
  • Freezing: I do not recommend freezing the chips once cooked, as they lose their crispness. However, you can freeze sliced apples before cooking.
  • Pairing: These apple chips are perfect for snacking on their own, but they can also be enjoyed with dips like yogurt or nut butter.
  • Flavor Variations: Try adding different spices or even a drizzle of honey before serving for a gourmet touch.
  • Batch Size: Feel free to double the recipe for larger gatherings but remember to cook them in batches to avoid crowding the air fryer.
