Scale
Ingredients
- 2 large apples (crisp varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp), washed and cored
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Olive oil spray or nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: Wash, core, and slice the apples into 1/8-inch thick slices. Peeling the apples is optional, as the skin adds extra flavor and texture.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Prepare Air Fryer: Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil spray or nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Apple Slices: Lay the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap to ensure even cooking.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the arranged apple slices to coat them lightly.
- First Air Fry: Cook the apples in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 7 to 8 minutes until they start to dry and crisp.
- Flip and Continue Cooking: Flip the apple slices carefully and air fry for an additional 5 to 7 minutes to achieve even crispness on both sides.
- Cool the Chips: Remove the apple chips and cool them on a wire rack so they become fully crisp as they cool.
- Repeat: If any apple slices remain, repeat the spraying, arranging, sprinkling, and air frying steps until all slices are cooked.
Notes
- Use crisp apple varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
- Slicing apples uniformly to 1/8-inch thickness helps ensure even cooking.
- Keep an eye on the cooking time as some air fryers may cook faster or slower.
- Store finished apple chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled by cooking in batches.
