Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large firm apples (Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp work best)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar or monk fruit sweetener
- Optional: A pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Use a mandoline slicer to cut the apples into very thin, uniform rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Remove any seeds from the slices, but keep the skin on for extra fiber and color. Place the slices in a large bowl and toss them gently with the cinnamon and optional sweetener until every piece is lightly coated.
- Arrange the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overlap them too much, as they need airflow to crisp up; you may need to work in batches. Set your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). Air fry for 15 minutes, then flip the slices over. Continue cooking for another 15 to 20 minutes, checking every 5 minutes. The chips are done when they are mostly dry and starting to curl at the edges.
- Remove the apple slices from the air fryer. They might feel slightly soft while hot, but they will crisp up significantly as they cool. Spread them out on a wire rack for about 5 to 10 minutes. Once they are crunchy and cool to the touch, transfer them to a bowl and enjoy immediately or store them in an airtight container.
