Air Fryer Apple Chips

Sweet, crunchy air fryer apple chips dusted with cinnamon — a naturally sweet, two-ingredient snack with no added oil. The air fryer dries the slices into crisp, chewy-edged chips in minutes.
They're a wholesome treat for lunchboxes, oatmeal toppers, or just snacking. Use any sweet-tart apple you like.
Ingredients
Instructions
Season
Toss the thin apple slices with the sugar and cinnamon.
Air fry
Working in batches, lay the slices in a single layer and air fry at 350°F for about 12 minutes, turning every 4 minutes, until dried and crisp at the edges.
Cool
Let them cool on a rack — they crisp up more as they cool.
- Slice as thin and even as possible — a mandoline is ideal.
- A single layer and regular flipping prevent sticking and uneven drying.
- They crisp as they cool, so don't overcook.
