How to Air Fryer Apple Chips

- Use a mandolin or sharp chef’s knife to slice your apples into 1/8” thick rounds.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of the sugar mixture onto both sides of each apple slice.
- Place the apple slices into the basket of an air fryer. Make sure that the slices aren’t overlapping too much.

- Allow the apple chips to cool completely before serving and enjoying!
Are Apple Chips Healthy
Relatively speaking, yes they are healthy. If you eat them plain without any sugar you are upping the health factor but that is why I say relatively speaking. I like the sweetness and find it worth the use of sugar. You can absolutely change the flavor profile on your apple chips as well, eliminating the sugar and creating a more savory apple chip. Overall they are a very healthy option for your family. By making them homemade you are removing any additives that you would find in a store-bought version. Overall I would consider this a very healthy option for you and your family.
Tips Tricks and FAQS
- Be sure you are consistent with your apple slices. Having apple slices of all different thicknesses will cause them to not be done at the same time.
- To keep your apples from browning you will want to coat them with a little lemon juice before adding your spice mixture.
- These apple chips will cook as they cool. So if they are a bit soft coming out of the air fryer, don’t panic, they will crisp up.
- You will want to pat your apples completely dry before cooking them in the air fryer. This speeds up the cooking time substantially.
- You can swap out the pumpkin pie spice for apple pie spice or ground cinnamon instead.
- These air fryer apple chips taste great alone or dipped! Try dipping them in cream cheese spread, caramel, or peanut butter.
- You do not need to core the apples to make these.
Storage
You will want to store these in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days. Over time they will become less crispy but will still taste delicious.
