Apple Chips
Apple chips are a delicious, healthy snack simply made with two ingredients, apples and cinnamon. Learn how to make homemade apple chips in the oven or air fryer with these two easy recipes!
Ingredients
- 2 apples, I recommend Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, Fuji, Gala or Cosmic Crisp
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Oven Baked Apple Chips
- Preheat the oven to 200°F.
- Core the apples and thinly slice with a mandolin or sharp knife into 1/8″ slices.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the apple slices.
- Lay the apple slices flat, not overlapping, on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 200°F for 3 hours, flipping halfway through.
- Remove the apple slices from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack to cool for 10 minutes.
Air Fryer Apple Chips
- Core the apples and thinly slice with a mandolin or sharp knife into 1/8″ slices.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the apple slices.
- Place the apple slices in an even layer in the air fryer. Depending on the size of the apples and size of the air fryer, you will probably only be able to fit 9-12 slices in the air fryer at a time.
- Air fry at 300°F for 21 minutes, flipping every 7 minutes.
- Remove the apple slices from the air fryer and transfer them to a cooling rack to cool for 10 minutes.
Notes
- Store apple chips in a sealed airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For maximum crispness enjoy them as soon as possible!
- The thickness of the apple slices will affect the cook time and level or crispiness. Thinner slices will be more crispy and will bake faster. Thicker slices will take longer and may not crisp as much.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet or air fryer basket, the air needs to be able to touch the entire surface of the apple slice to crisp it properly.
- Always use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to line your baking sheet, or the apple chips will stick to the pan.
- Do not skip cooling the apple chips on a cooling rack! This allows them to reach their maximum crispy potential.
