    All About Apple Chips

    Apple chips are essentially dehydrated apple slices that you can season however you'd like! I prefer mine sprinkled with a touch of cinnamon.

    Here's why you'll love them:

    • Delicious
    • Low calorie
    • Low carb
    • Dairy free
    • Egg free
    • No oil
    • Gluten free
    • Vegan

    How to make homemade apple chips in the air fryer

    To make the best apple chips, you'll need the following tools:

    • Air fryer: Here's the one I use and love!
    • Mandoline: You could alternatively carefully slice your apple using a knife.
    • Metal rack trivet: This will help keep your apple chips from flying around.

    For cinnamon apple chips, we need just two simple ingredients:

    • 1 apple: I prefer using honey crisp apples but red delicious is a great choice too.
    • Ground cinnamon: Start with a pinch and use more depending on preference.

    Prep Work

    Wash the apple and cut into ⅛-inch slices. The best way to slice apple chips is using a mandoline!

    Once sliced, transfer to air fryer basket and dust with ground cinnamon. Cover with a metal rack or trivet to keep the apple slices from flying around in the air fryer.

    Air Fry

    Set the air fryer to 300F and cook for 15 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes.

    This is one of those recipes where it's important to actually flip while cooking.

    Enjoy!

    Once crisp to perfection, remove apple chips from the air fryer and let cool. They'll continue to crisp up as they cool. Enjoy immediately.

    Recipe FAQ

    Can I make apple chips without an air fryer?

    No air fryer? No problem! Make apple chips in the oven instead. Bake at 200F for 2 hours, flipping apple slices halfway through.

    Do you peel apples before making apple chips?

    I prefer and suggest leaving the skin on the apple for easy apple chips! It's personal preference.

    Do you core apples before making apple chips?

    Nope! You don't need to worry about coring the apple, as most of the seeds will fall out during slicing or when air frying.

    How do you know when apple chips are done?

    I go off look and feel. You want the apple chips to be just golden brown and in between soft and just crisp to touch. Some apple slices will cook faster than others, so keep an eye on them.

    Can you store apple chips?

    In the off chance you have leftover apple chips, you can store them in an airtight container or bag for up to 7 days at room temperature.
