Air Fryer Apple Chips Cinnamon (Printer-friendly)

Crisp apple chips layered with cinnamon sugar, prepared quickly for a sweet, healthy snack.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Apples

01 - 2 large apples, any crisp variety such as Fuji or Honeycrisp, washed and cored

→ Cinnamon Sugar

02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

→ Optional

04 - Olive oil spray or nonstick cooking spray for extra crispness

# How-To Steps:

01 - Wash, core, and thinly slice the apples to approximately 1/8-inch thickness. Peeling is not necessary.
02 - In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly distributed.
03 - Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil spray if using for enhanced crispness.
04 - Arrange apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches as necessary to avoid overcrowding.
05 - Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over all apple slices.
06 - Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 7 to 8 minutes until partially crisped.
07 - Flip the apple slices and continue air frying for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until golden and crisp. Check frequently to prevent burning.
08 - Transfer chips to a wire rack to cool completely; they will continue to crisp further as they cool.
09 - Repeat steps with remaining apple slices in batches.
