Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium size Granny Smith, Fuji, Pink Lady or Honey Crisp apples – washed and dried
- 1 tablespoon apple pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Prep the apples. Wash and dry the apples then use a mandolin slicer or sharp knife to slice the apples into thin chips that are about 1/8 inch thick rounds. Then place the sliced apples onto a clean paper towel or clean kitchen towel and blot them with another dry towel to remove any excess moisture from the apples.
- Season. Sprinkle the dry apple slices with the apple pie spice and a pinch of sea salt. I like to season them by sprinkling the spices higher right over the apples so they get all nice and evenly coated in the seasoning.
- Cook. Preheat the air fryer to 300 degrees F. Once the air fryer is ready, spray the air fryer basket with non aerosol cooking spray or olive oil spray and place the sliced, seasoned apple chips into the air fryer basket in an even layer. Expert Tip: Place a rack on top of the apples to prevent them from flying around the air fryer as they cook. You will likely need to cook the apple chips in batches. Cook the apple chips at 300 degrees F for 15 minutes, turning them over about every 5 minutes and sprinkle the other side with the seasoning. Check them around 12 minutes to make sure they do not burn.
- Serve and enjoy! Remove the apple chips from the air fryer and place them onto a plate and let them cool for a few minutes (they will get even more crispy as they cool). Then dig in!
Notes
- Make sure to wash the apples really well before cooking to remove any dirt or pesticides.
- You can use a mandolin slicer (preferred) or a sharp knife to slice the apples into thin chips Try you’re best to make them all relative the same size.
- If you have any leftover apple ends you can chop them up and use them in another recipe like this Must Make Chopped Kale Salad or these Healthy Apple Muffins.
- Check the apples every 5 minutes during cooking so you can ensure they do not burn. Flipping them will help. Remove any smaller chips that may get fully cooked in a shorter amount of time.
- For easier clean up you can use an air fryer liner to line the air fryer basket before adding the chips.
- The best way to store these apple chips so they stay nice and flavourful and crispy is by letting them cool completely and storing them in an airtight container. They should last about 4-6 days if stored this way and kept on the counter.
