Ingredients
2 apples, thinly sliced
2 tsp. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Preparation
Step 1Preheat oven to 200°. In a large bowl, toss apples with sugar and cinnamon.Step 2Place a metal rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Lay apples slices on top of rack, spacing them so that no apples overlap.Step 3Bake for 2 to 3 hours, flipping apples halfway through, until apples dried out but still pliable. (Apples will continue to crisp while cooling.)
Step 1In a large bowl toss apples with cinnamon and sugar. Working in batches, place apples in a single layer in basket of air fryer (some overlap is okay). Step 2Bake at 350° for about 12 minutes, flipping every 4 minutes.
Best apple varieties Pick an apple on the crisper side to make these, like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Pink Lady. Avoid softer, mealier apples like Red Delicious or Fuji—they just don’t crisp up the same way. Slice ’em thin! Slice the apples as thinly as you can into rounds, around 1/8" thick. We like using a mandoline to get thin and even slices, just use caution. If you don’t have a mandoline, use the sharpest knife you have and (carefully) slice as thin of slices as possible. The thinner the slice, the better the crisp. Got an air fryer? Use it! It’ll produce extremely crispy chips in much less time than your oven. But don’t worry if you don’t, a low oven works just as well; it’ll just take a few hours. Storage Store your apple chips in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Have you made these yet?
