  • Crispy and sweet – Perfectly crispy with a natural sweetness from the apples.

Ingredients:

  • 2 apples (any variety, like Gala, Fuji, or Granny Smith)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the apples – Wash the apples and slice them thinly, about 1-2mm thick. Use a mandoline slicer for even slices if available.
  2. Toss with lemon juice – Optional: toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. Season (optional) – Sprinkle with cinnamon and a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
  4. Preheat the air fryer – Set your air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
  5. Arrange the apple slices – Lay the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping for even crisping.
  6. Cook – Air fry for 10-15 minutes, checking every 5 minutes and flipping the slices halfway through for even cooking. The apples are done when they’re golden and crispy.
  7. Serve – Once done, remove the apple chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.

Flavor Variations:

  • Caramel Apple Chips – After cooking, drizzle with a bit of melted caramel sauce for a sweet treat.
  • Spicy Apple Chips – Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the cinnamon for a spicy kick.
  • Sweet Apple Chips – Dust the chips with a little sugar or coconut sugar for extra sweetness.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Enjoy as a stand-alone snack.
  • Add to oatmeal or yogurt for added texture and flavor.
  • Use as a topping for salads or desserts like ice cream.

Tips for Perfect Apple Chips:

  • Thin slices – The thinner you slice the apples, the crispier they will get. A mandoline slicer works great for uniform slices.
  • Don’t overcrowd – Make sure the apple slices are laid out in a single layer to allow for even air circulation.
  • Storage – Store any leftover chips in an airtight container to keep them crisp.

Enjoy these crispy, naturally sweet apple chips as a healthy and satisfying snack!
