Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large apples (your choice of variety) Choose firm apples like Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith.
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice To prevent browning.
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) For added flavor.
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional) Adjust according to sweetness preference.
- Cooking spray or oil for air frying To help crisp up the chips.
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the apples thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- Core the apples and slice them into thin rounds, aiming for about 1/8 inch thick slices.
- Toss the apple slices with lemon juice in a bowl to prevent browning.
- Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl (if using) and sprinkle the mixture over the apple slices. Toss until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C).
Cooking
- Arrange the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap.
- Lightly spray the apple slices with cooking spray or brush with a small amount of oil.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Monitor closely toward the end to prevent burning.
- Let the apple chips cool down after cooking; they will become crispier as they cool.
