- 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional) - A pinch of salt - Cooking spray or coconut oil - Air fryer - Mixing bowl - Cutting board and knife - Wire rack For this recipe, I use two large apples. Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples work best. They are crisp and sweet, perfect for chips. You need one teaspoon of ground cinnamon for flavor. If you like your chips sweeter, add one tablespoon of brown sugar. A pinch of salt balances the sweetness. You also need cooking spray or a bit of coconut oil to help the cinnamon mix stick to the apples. Next, gather your equipment. An air fryer is a must for this recipe. A mixing bowl helps you blend the cinnamon and sugar. A cutting board and knife are needed to slice the apples. Lastly, a wire rack lets your chips cool and get even crisper. With these ingredients and tools ready, you will make tasty cinnamon apple chips in no time! 1. First, wash two large apples. I like using Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for their crispness. 2. Next, core each apple. This means removing the center part with seeds. 3. Slice the apples into thin rounds. Aim for about 1/8 inch thick. Keeping the skin on adds flavor and nutrients. 1. In a small bowl, combine one teaspoon of ground cinnamon, one tablespoon of brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. 2. Mix these ingredients well. This creates a tasty cinnamon sugar mixture to sprinkle on the apples. 1. Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for about 3-5 minutes. 2. Arrange the apple slices in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd them. 3. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the apple slices. Toss them gently to coat each slice. 4. Cook the apple slices for 15-20 minutes. Flip them halfway through to ensure even cooking. 5. Keep an eye on them. Cooking times can change based on your air fryer. 6. Once they are done, take them out and let them cool on a wire rack. They will get crispier as they cool. 7. If you have any leftover apple chips, store them in an airtight container to keep them crunchy. - Avoid overcrowding the basket. Give each slice space to breathe. This helps them cook evenly. - Monitor cooking time closely. Check the apple chips often. Cooking time can change based on your air fryer. - Consider adding nutmeg or vanilla extract. These spices can add a warm, rich taste. - Experiment with different apple varieties. Try Fuji, Gala, or even Pink Lady. Each type gives a unique flavor and texture. {{image_4}} If you want to skip sugar, you can still enjoy these apple chips. Just substitute brown sugar with a sugar alternative like stevia or erythritol. Both options add sweetness without the calories. This way, you keep the taste but cut down on sugar. Feel free to experiment with spices! You can add ginger or cloves for a new flavor twist. These spices give your chips a warm, cozy touch. Another idea is to mix cinnamon with cocoa powder. This combination creates a chocolatey apple chip that tastes amazing. It adds a rich layer of flavor that surprises your taste buds. Enjoy trying these variations to find your favorite! To keep your apple chips fresh, use an airtight container. This will help keep moisture out. Store them in a cool, dry place, like a pantry or cupboard. Avoid areas with heat or humidity. Apple chips last about one week at room temperature. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Place apple chips in a freezer-safe bag. They can last for several months in the freezer. When you want to enjoy them again, just thaw and crisp them up in the air fryer. Yes, you can use many fruits! Try pears, bananas, or even sweet potatoes. Each fruit gives a unique taste and texture. Just slice them thinly, like the apples. Use the same method for air frying. Each fruit will need its own cooking time, so keep an eye on them. Look for a nice golden color and a crisp feel. They should feel dry and break easily when you touch them. If they are still soft, give them more time in the air fryer. Remember to flip them halfway through for even cooking. You sure can! To keep them crispy, use your air fryer again. Heat them at a low temperature for about 5 minutes. This helps remove any moisture and brings back their crunch. Avoid using the microwave, as it makes them soggy. For the full instructions, check out the [Crispy Air Fryer Cinnamon Apple Chips](#) recipe. You learned how to make tasty air fryer apple chips.

Ingredients
  

2 large apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional; adjust according to your sweetness preference)

A pinch of salt

Cooking spray or a light coat of coconut oil

Instructions
 

Start by thoroughly washing the apples to remove any impurities. Core each apple and slice them into thin rounds, ensuring they are about 1/8 inch thick. Keeping the skin on will add delightful texture and nutrients to your chips.

    In a small mixing bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, brown sugar (if you choose to use it), and a pinch of salt. Stir until the ingredients are well blended to create your cinnamon sugar mixture.

      In a large bowl, arrange the apple slices. Lightly spray them with cooking spray or brush them with a little coconut oil. This will help the cinnamon sugar mixture stick properly to the apples.

        Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the apple slices, tossing delicately to ensure each slice is coated without breaking them.

          Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for about 3-5 minutes to prepare it for cooking.

            Carefully lay the apple slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they cook evenly; you may need to cook them in batches if your fryer isn't large enough.

              Air fry the apple slices for approximately 15-20 minutes. Flip the slices halfway through to achieve that perfect crispness. Keep a watchful eye as cooking times can vary based on your air fryer model—prevent them from overcooking or burning.

                Once the apple chips are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. You'll find they become even crisper as they cool.

                  If you have any leftover apple chips (which is unlikely, as they are delicious!), store them in an airtight container to maintain their crunchiness.
