🍎 Crispy Air Fryer Cinnamon Apple Chips 🍂
Ingredients:
2 large apples
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (adjust to taste)
Optional: 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup for light sweetness
Instructions:
Prep the Apples:
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, cut each apple into thin, even slices about ⅛-inch thick. Remove the core from each slice.
Season and Arrange:
Place the apple slices in a bowl and sprinkle with cinnamon. Toss gently to coat each piece evenly. If using honey or maple syrup, drizzle it over the top and toss again until lightly coated.
Air Fry in Batches:
Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (160°C). Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, place the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap.
Cook Until Crispy:
Air fry for 8–10 minutes, then flip each slice carefully using tongs. Cook for another 6–8 minutes or until golden and crisp around the edges. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model and thickness of slices.
Cool Completely:
Remove the apple chips from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve or Store:
Enjoy these cinnamon-kissed apple chips immediately as a guilt-free snack. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
