Ingredients Needed for Air Fryer Apple Chips
- 2 medium-sized apples (any variety, but Honeycrisp or Fuji work well)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional: 1 teaspoon granulated sugar or coconut sugar (for extra sweetness)
How to Make Air Fryer Apple Chips
Step 1 Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly slice the apples into rounds. Aim for slices about ⅛-inch thick for the best results.
Step 2 Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon mixture over one side of the apple slices. Flip the slices and sprinkle the other side as well.
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes. This helps to ensure even cooking.
Step 3 Place the seasoned apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping the slices to ensure they crisp up properly. You may need to cook them in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air Fry the Apple Chips:

Serving Suggestions
It is fun to dip the finished apple chips in some Greek yogurt dip with cinnamon & honey or cream cheese wit maple syrup swirl. Caramel dip and pumpkin hummus are also good options for dipping.
Crumble the apple chips on top of a Protein Yogurt Parfaits or Air Fryer Grilled Cheese with Mayo sandwich.
Air Fryer Apple Chips Tips
- Once the apple slices are done, carefully remove them from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Store the cooled apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- For an extra touch, drizzle a tiny bit of honey over the apple slices before seasoning with cinnamon.
- Experiment with different apple varieties to find your favorite flavor and texture.
- If you prefer chewier apple chips, reduce the cooking time slightly.

Air Fryer Apple Chips Recipe Faqs
I have a Ninja Foodi Grill that has an air fryer and dehydrator attachment. I tested both and Corsi air fryer (listed below). The Ninja Foodi Grill with dehydrator seemed to work better for making apple chips.
Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic, whatever! Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container.
