Ingredients
Scale
2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for preventing browning)
Instructions
Wash and core the apples. Do not peel them.
Slice the apples very thinly, aiming for about 1/16 inch thickness. Use a mandoline slicer if you have one for uniform slices.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together to create the coating mixture.
If using, lightly brush or spray the apple slices with lemon juice.
Place the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overlapping.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the apple slices.
Air fry at 300°F (150°C) for 10 to 15 minutes.
Flip the chips halfway through the cooking time (around 7 minutes).
Continue cooking until the edges curl slightly and the chips are dry and crisp. Cooking time varies by air fryer model and apple thickness.
Remove from the air fryer and let the chips cool completely on a wire rack. They will crisp up more as they cool.
Notes
For the crispiest results, ensure your slices are uniform in thickness. Thicker slices will remain chewy.
If the chips are not fully crisp after the initial cook time, return them to the air fryer for 2-3 minute intervals until they reach your desired texture.
Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
