Air Fryer Apple Chips Cinnamon

# What You Need:

→ Base

01 - 2 large apples, crisp variety such as Fuji or Honeycrisp

→ Cinnamon Sugar

02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

03 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

→ Optional

04 - Olive oil spray or nonstick cooking spray for extra crispness

# How To Make:

01 - Wash, core, and thinly slice the apples to approximately 1/8-inch thickness. Peel is optional and may be retained.

02 - Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small mixing bowl until evenly distributed.

03 - Lightly coat the air fryer basket with oil spray if desired for enhanced crispness.

04 - Arrange apple slices in a single layer within the air fryer basket, working in batches as necessary to avoid overcrowding.

05 - Distribute cinnamon sugar mixture evenly across all apple slices.

06 - Set air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 7 to 8 minutes until slices begin to cook through.

07 - Flip apple slices and continue air frying for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Monitor frequently to prevent burning.

08 - Transfer cooked chips to a wire rack to cool completely; chips will continue crisping as they cool to room temperature.

09 - Repeat steps with remaining apple slices until all apples are processed.

# Expert Advice:

01 -

You get that addictive crispy texture without any guilt, just apples and a whisper of cinnamon.
The whole thing takes 25 minutes start to finish, which means you can make these on a whim without planning your day around it.
They're naturally sweet and require barely any prep work, so even on tired evenings this feels manageable.

02 -

Uniform thickness matters far more than you'd think—even apples that are slightly thicker will still be chewy while their thinner neighbors are crisp, so a mandoline slicer really does change the game.
The cooling step is non-negotiable; they seem barely done when you pull them out, but as they cool they harden into actual chips, and that's when you understand why this recipe works.
