Ingredients

  • 1 apple Any variety. Washed and with the skin on.
  • A high heat oil For coating the air fryer basket.

Instructions

  • Remove the stem and core of the apple before slicing or slice the apple while whole, being sure to discard the stem and core of the apple.
  • Use a mandolin to slice an apple into very thin uniform slices. I set my slicer to the #2 setting which slices the apple in 2.5 mm slices.
  • Coat your air fryer basket with a high heat oil, like avocado oil.
  • Lay the apple slices in a single layer on the air fryer basket fit for your air fryer.
  • Air fry at 325° for 6 minutes or until the desired consistency is reached.

Notes

  • There is no need to preheat the air fryer for this recipe, at least if you are using the Cuisinart Digital Air Fryer Toaster Oven.
  • Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for how to properly and safely use your air fryer.
  • Slight overlap of the apple slices is okay. Just know that the slices that overlap will stick together.
  • The thicker the apple slices, the longer they will take to cook.
  • If it turns out that your kids prefer the texture of an actual apple chip, simply put these back in the air fryer for an additional 2 minutes or until they reach your desired consistency.
  • Never use aerosol spray cans in your air fryer.
  • It’s best to use a good quality oil mister or simply use a silicone basting brush to brush oil on to the air fryer basket to prevent food from sticking.
