These air fryer apple chips are a healthy and delicious snack option, which can be made easily in the air fryer. They’re a great way to use Fall apples, and this recipe is a family favorite.
The secret ingredient here is fresh lemon juice—it gives these apple chips an incredible burst of flavor. If you don’t have any lemons on hand, try another mild citrus like orange or lime. Likewise, if you don’t have an air fryer but still want to make these sweet-and-salty snacks, simply bake them at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes (or until they’re done).
Ingredients:
- 3 large sweet crisp apples, such as Honeycrisp
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- a pinch of salt
How to Make Apple Chips in the Air Fryer
- The first step is to wash and dry the apples. Once they have dried, slice them into thin, 1/8-inch-thick slices using a mandolin or a sharp knife.
- Apple slices should be arranged in a single layer in the air fryer basket after being sprinkled with a teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Set the oven to 380 degrees Fahrenheit and give them 8 to 10 minutes to roast after they are in the basket.
- At the five-minute point, flip the slices. Allow the slices to crisp for at least five minutes. The ideal rest period is 15 to 30 minutes.
Tips for the Best Chips
- You have to use the freshest apple you can find in your nearest market. You can easily find good apples at a farmer’s stand or a local supermarket store.
- Use a mandolin to obtain the thinnest, most uniform slices possible. The next best thing if you don’t have one is a sharp knife.
- To ensure that the apples cook at the same rate, you should slice them equally. Put similar-sized slices in the same batch if you wind up with uneven slices. The slices will be air-fried in two batches.
- Before eating, let the apples cool on the wire rack for 10 to 20 minutes. While chilling, they’ll keep getting crisper.
- Make pear chips using this recipe; same steps, different taste.
- Depending on the apple you used, the chips’ color will vary. The color of the apples lightens as they get crisper. Crisp apples produce dark chips.
- You may eat them on your own or mix them with yogurt, cereal, oatmeal salads, or other foods. Attempt dipping them in sauces and dips as well!
- After cooling, immediately place the apple chips in an airtight container. They will begin to soften if you leave them out in the open for too long.
- For up to five days, store them at room temperature. Although they won’t be as crispy, they are still tasty.
- It could take some practice to get the ideal temperature for air fryers because they range in temperature. Use a lower temperature the following time if, at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, the apple chips burned.
- Apple slices should be thicker.
- Approximately 3 to 4 times more regularly, check the apples. Remove the ones that have already been prepared.
