Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large firm apples (such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Pink Lady)
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or coconut sugar (optional)
- Non-stick cooking spray (optional)
Instructions
- Start by washing and drying your apples thoroughly. You can choose to core them using an apple corer, or leave the core in for a pretty star-shaped center. Using a mandoline slicer or a very sharp knife, cut the apples into very thin, uniform rounds (about 1/8 inch thick). Uniformity is key to ensuring they all crisp up at the same rate.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices with the ground cinnamon and sugar if you are using it. Gently toss the slices with your hands or a spatula until every piece is evenly coated. Be careful not to break the thin slices as you mix them.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray if desired. Place the apple slices in the basket in a single layer. It is okay if they overlap very slightly as they will shrink during cooking, but for the best results, avoid stacking them in thick layers.
- Set your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). Cook the apple slices for about 15 to 20 minutes. Every 5 minutes, pause the air fryer to shake the basket or manually flip the slices to ensure even drying. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes, as they can go from golden to burnt very quickly.
- Once the apples look slightly shriveled and are just starting to turn golden brown at the edges, remove them from the air fryer. Place them on a wire cooling rack. The chips will continue to crisp up significantly as they cool down to room temperature.
