Air Fryer Apple Chips Cinnamon (Printable)

Sweet and crisp apple chips with cinnamon sugar, a quick and healthy snack option.

# Ingredient List:

→ Apples

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

# Directions:

01 - Wash, core, and thinly slice the apples to approximately 1/8 inch thickness. Leave skin intact for added texture and nutrients.
02 - Combine sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, stirring until evenly distributed.
03 - Lightly spray 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 if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
05 - Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly across all apple slices.
06 - Air fry at 350°F for 7 to 8 minutes until edges begin to curl slightly.
07 - Flip the apple slices and continue air frying for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until golden and crisp. Monitor frequently to prevent burning.
08 - Transfer chips to a wire rack to cool completely. They will continue crisping as they cool to room temperature.
09 - Repeat steps 4 through 8 with remaining apple slices until all batches are completed.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Incredibly easy: Just slice, season, and air fry—no complicated techniques required.
  • Naturally healthy: No added fats needed, and only a touch of cinnamon sugar for flavor.
  • Allergy-friendly: Contains no common allergens and suits vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free diets.
  • Quick to make: From prep to plate in just 25 minutes.
  • Versatile snack: Delicious on their own or served alongside yogurt for a more filling treat.
02 -
  • Use a mandoline slicer for uniformly thin chips that cook evenly.
  • Work in batches and never overlap the apple slices—single-layer cooking is key to crispness.
  • Check frequently during the final minutes of cooking, as apple chips can go from golden to burnt quickly.
  • Cool on a wire rack, not a plate—this prevents steam from softening the chips underneath.
  • Reduce or swap the sugar if you prefer a less sweet chip—a sugar substitute works just as well.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain crunch.
