Ingredients

  • 1 red apple

  • Place the apple slices in the air fryer basket. Work in batches to avoid stacking the slices and cook for 10 minutes, flipping the apple chips halfway through.

Notes

  • These air fryer cinnamon apple chips make a great nutritious snack or even to add into your meal prep for the week.
  • You can also pack them for a delicious on the go snack or put them in a baggie with a sweet and encouraging note and send them to school with your little ones.
  • Safety tip: when using a mandolin for slicing apples, use cut resistant glove so that you don't accidentally cut your hand.
  • Add cinnamon sugar, drizzle some chocolate over them or even dip them in peanut butter for some protein.
    Use a metal rack to hold the apple chips in place and prevent them from flying around.
  • Smaller apple slices cook faster; check on them every 5 minutes.
  • Thicker apple slices take longer to cook than the time suggested in the recipe. If you sliced them by hand rather than using a mandoline, they may take longer.
  • Cook the apple chips until they are browned, especially on the edges.You might want to flip the apple chips every 3-4 minutes, depending on your air fryer.
  • Avoid using honey as a substitute for maple syrup because it's thick and difficult to spread on the apple slices.
