Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala recommended)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C) or your air fryer to 300°F (150°C).
- Wash and core the apples. You can peel them if you prefer, but it’s not necessary.
- Slice the apples very thinly, about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer is helpful for uniform slices.
- Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (for oven) or in the air fryer basket.
- Sprinkle both sides of the apple slices evenly with cinnamon.
- For oven baking: Bake for 2-3 hours, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are dry and slightly crisp.
- For air frying: Air fry for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are slightly browned and the chips are crisp. Cooking time will vary based on your air fryer model and apple thickness.
- Allow the chips to cool completely on a wire rack. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure your apple slices are very thin and baked/air-fried until completely dry.
- If you find the chips are not crisp enough after cooling, you can return them to the oven or air fryer for a few more minutes at a low temperature.
- Store cooled apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Adding a food-safe desiccant pack can help maintain crispness.
- These chips are a great kid-friendly snack and perfect for school lunch boxes.
- For a slightly sweeter chip without added sugar, choose naturally sweet apple varieties.
