Air Fryer Apple Chips
Recipe from Curd is The Word
Ingredients:
- 2 large apples (any variety you like)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Prep the Apples: Start by washing and drying the apples. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the apples as thinly as possible, aiming for about 1/8 inch thick. The thinner the slices, the crispier the chips!
2. Season the Slices: In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, sugar (if using), and a pinch of salt. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apple slices, making sure each piece is lightly coated.
3. Arrange and Air Fry: Place the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches. Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for about 8-10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through for even crispness.
4. Cool and Enjoy: Once the apple chips are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They’ll crisp up even more as they cool down.
5. Store: Store your apple chips in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crispy. Enjoy them as a snack, a salad topping, or a fun addition to your favorite dessert!
So, why not transform your apples into something spectacular? With just a handful of ingredients and a bit of air fryer magic, you'll have a batch of crispy, cinnamon-kissed apple chips that are perfect for snacking, sharing, or adding a touch of wholesome crunch to your meals.
