We are BIG fans of using our air fryer. Often we’re eating less healthy foods, such as air fryer chips, or air fryer chicken wings. I wanted to start using my air fryer for more healthier options, to go alongside being able to use it without using oil. That is where these air fryer apple chips were born from!
I am a busy Mum of 2, always looking for snacks to serve to my 5 year old, and these golden, cinnamon covered, delicious apple chips are perfect! I can make a batch up while I’m cleaning, or cooking dinner, in the kitchen, and they keep for a couple of days in an air tight container too.

Ingredients for air fryer apple chips:
3 Red apples (we used some seasonal UK ones)
1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
Method for air fryer apple chips:
Turn your air fryer on to 190C (375F).
Wash your apples. Personally I do not peel OR core the apples for this recipe. This is time saving, a great way to cut down on food waste and also perfect if you’re a bit lazy!
Slice to approximately 2mm. I used the 2mm setting on my spiraliser, but you could use a box grater, as long as you’re mindful of your fingertips! If you don’t have a mandolin, spiraliser or box grater then you could possibly use a knife, but it is going to be fairly hard to get the slices thin enough I expect.
Dust the apple slices with the cinnamon. I personally like to place the cinnamon on a plate and then rub the apple chips all over, ensuring that both sides are well covered.
Lay in a single layer on the bottom of your air fryer.
Cook for 4 minutes.
Flip over.
Cook for 4 more minutes.
Serve! We enjoy ours ‘plain’, for 1-2 days after cooking by storing in an air tight container once cooled on a cooling rack, or with a chocolate spread or Biscoff spread. It would also go really well with my salted caramel sauce.
Can I make apple chips in the air fryer?
Absolutely! See my recipe card below for the full recipe for my healthy air fryer apple chips.
What apples to use for apple chips?
Personally I feel that a sweeter apple works well; gala, golden delicious, red delicious, granny smith or even pink lady. They have a pretty high water concentration, so they’ll need a little time on a cooling rack to crisp up fully once cooked, but they taste SO good!
Do you need to use oil for these apple chips?
I have seen some people using coconut oil but if you’re using an air fryer then personally I don’t believe this is necessary. If you’re going to bake these in the oven then you’ll want to use a little oil, so they don’t dry out totally, and look to add maybe 50% to the cooking time.
Something to note about air fryer recipes is that all air fryers have different sizes, depths and as such the cooking times can vary. All air fryer recipes on this website are intended as a guide, and not a guarantee that the timings will be perfect. Enjoy!
