Substitution and Additions
- Pumpkin Pie Spice. Substitute this for cinnamon for a taste of fall.
- Apple Pie Spice. Swap the cinnamon and use apple pie spice instead.
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1. Wash and dry the apple.
Step 2. Next, slice the apple into thin slices. You can use a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Make sure to remove any seeds in the apple slices.
Step 3. Use a baking sheet to place the apples in a single layer.
Step 4. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
Step 5. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apple slices.
Step 6. Coat the air fryer basket in olive oil to keep the apple slices from sticking. Then put the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Step 7. Next, the apples need to air fry at 300 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Toss every 3-4 minutes until the apple slices are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8. Allow to cool on a cooling rack. They will get crispier while they are cooling.
Pro Tips
- Cook in batches. It’s ok if the apples overlap slightly but you do not want them piled on top of each other. You may have to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Watch closely. The apple slices can easily burn so make sure to watch them closely while cooking.
- Crispy Apples. Crunchy, crisp apples are the best for this recipe. I love using Fuji, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Gala or Pink Lady apples.
- Center of the apple. You can remove the center of the apple slices if you prefer, but I usually just leave them and remove the seeds, and they turn out great every time.
- Olive Oil Spray. Make sure to use an olive oil spray and not a non-stick spray as the non-stick spray will deteriorate the coating on the air fryer basket.
- Serve right away. These are best served immediately as the apple chips will lose their crispness after a few days.
Storage
Store the leftover apple slices in an airtight container for a few days. However, they are best served right away for the best taste and texture.
