Air Fryer Apple Chips Recipe – Healthy Baked Snack

Healthy Apple Chips Recipe

Apples have a natural sweetness and a good amount of fiber, making them an excellent choice for most eating plans, and the air fryer transforms them into something delicious that the whole family will enjoy.

Keep in mind that because apple chips are baked, they are not quite as healthy as a whole apple. (You can easily eat several apples worth of chips!) Enjoy them in moderation along with other healthy choices.

Still, baked apple chips are a great option compared to fried chips like potato chips.

Frequently Asked Questions about Apple Chips

What are the best apples for apple chips?

Are apple chips healthy?

Air fryer apple chips are a healthier snack than regular potato chips or a high sugar candy bar. Apples have the added benefit of fiber and Vitamin C as well.

Apple chips are simple to make and easy to carry along, making them a great on-the-go treat.

How do you cut apples for apple chips?

Cut apples in even, thin layers in order to make crispy chips that cook evenly.

To accomplish this as easily and quickly as possible I like to use a mandolin. While you can use a sharp knife, your chips will not be as even so you’ll need to remove the ones that bake more quickly as they finish cooking.

Wash the apples. Adjust the mandolin at the thickness you want. A thin cut is best for the apples to crisp up in the air fryer. A thicker cut will make the apple chips soft. They will still be delicious, but not crispy. 

Can you stack food in an air fryer?

No, do not stack your chips in the air fryer.

Remember that the Air Fryer cooks food by circulating hot air around it, and in order for the cooking to happen effectively all the surface of the food need to be exposed to the hot air.

How long can you store apple chips?

Store your air fryer apple chips in an airtight container or ziplock bag at room temperature for up to one week. Some of our favorite ways to enjoy apple chips are eaten straight from the bowl, chopped and sprinkled over Instant Pot yogurt with granola, on top of salads, and on top of oatmeal.

Why are my apple chips soft?

Why do apple chips come out soft? One reason may be that you cut your apple slices too thick. Try cutting them thinner next time. A mandolin will really help keep your apple slices thin and cut evenly. 

Another reason your apple chips are soft is they were not cooked long enough to become crispy.

Finally, be sure to choose a firm apple type that will not become mushy.

How to Make Apple Chips in an Air Fryer

Here’s step by step how to get crispy apple chips in the air fryer.

Gather your ingredients. While sugar and cinnamon are option, just the touch of sugar helps your apple chips caramelize and turns them into a delicious treat.

Core the apples.

Thinly slice your apples. A mandolin works best for getting chips that cook evenly and crisp well.

Evenly layer the sliced apples.

Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and sugar mixture over your sliced apples. You can use a sugar substitute if desired.

Bake in your Air Fryer. Enjoy plain or with caramel for dipping.
