Air Fryer Apple Chips Recipe Ingredients
All you will need to make this healthy snack are the following ingredients.
Apples– You can use any variety of apples for this air fryer recipe. Choose your favorite or select a variety of apples to create colorful cinnamon apple chips in the air fryer.
Olive Oil– I use olive oil to help prevent the apple chips from sticking together and it also helps to give the apple chips a crispy texture.
Cinnamon– I like to sprinkle a generous amount of ground cinnamon on these apple chips but you can omit this ingredient and choose a different spice to use if you would rather have a different flavor for your dehydrated apple chips.
How to Slice the Apples
To create a uniform thin apple slice it is recommended to use a mandoline slicer to create your apple chips.
This isn’t necessary but it does make the apples easier to slice and leaves you with perfectly thin apple slices.
If you don’t have a mandoline slicer but you have ninja-like knife skills, cut those apple slices as thin as you can.
This recipe is so easy that you don’t even have to core apples or peel them before starting the dehydration process.
Some people make apple chip recipes with the skin on and some create their apple chips with the skin off.
Choose whichever works best for you, I prefer to leave the skin on when making apple chips.
I think it gives these red delicious apples a stronger, bolder flavor.
How to Make Air Fryer Apple Chips
After you slice your apples, spread a little bit of olive oil on them. The next step is to sprinkle the apple slices with a teaspoon of cinnamon.
Place the slices into the Power Air Fryer Oven at 180 degrees for 15 minutes in a single layer.
Once the 15 minutes have ended the Power Air Fryer Oven will beep, very very loudly. Trust me you are not going to miss this beep!
The next step in making this homemade apple chip recipe stand out above the rest is to turn the apple slices in the Power Air Fryer Oven before putting them back in for another 10 minutes.
If you are making your crispy apple chips using a different air fryer that has an air fryer basket, this step may not be necessary.
The last step to perfectly dehydrated apple slices is to let them cool before serving.
I have found that the longer I let them cool on the rack, the crispier they are.
Be sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container but making apple chips fresh is always best.
Since I am a proud owner of the Power Air Fryer Oven, you can expect to see lots of different recipes created using this life-changing and time-saving technology.

I have made homemade apple chips, but they take a while to dehydrate well in the oven. I would like to try making them this way. I have always been a fan of fruit or veggie chips. These look tasty!
I do love me a good CRUNCH! I make chips in my air fryer all the time, ugh! I love that machine! We had a dehydrator for about 2 weeks but it was huge and it made everything gummy which I wasn’t a huge fan of, so we returned it! ha!
Do you have the air fryer or the air oven? I have the fryer and I want to try them.
OH I NEVER thought to do something like this in my air fryer!!! I am so giving this a try! I bet they are amazing with farm fresh apples!
I’ve never made apple chips before. We love apples in my home now you have piqued my interest in making these for my family. Looks like I need to add a power air fryer to my kitchen also. Gonna give this a try!
Oh my goodness you somehow read my mind! I have been CRAVING apple chips for weeks, I cannot believe I am reading this right now. I need one of these Power Air-Fryer oven and my life will be complete!
Oooh, these sound yummy! I have an air fryer. Not a power air fryer, mind you, but a regular one. I wonder if apple chips would come out as good in it. I will definitely have to give it a try! Love that they only take 15 minutes!
I developed an allergy in apples some years ago and I can only eat dried ones. This seem like so easy to do -as I don’t have an air fryer, I might try an oven version…would be yummy dipped in dark chocolate too! 😀
I would totally make these! I love the crunchiness of chips, but not the calories. Plus, apples are so yummy! Thanks for sharing this delicious looking recipe.
I am looking into buying an air fryer – to make fruit chips like this. I love apple chips but also beetroot . Do they sty crunchy for a few days or doe they start to become soggy after a few days?
Hi Meeta, at this point, our chips have never lasted long enough to find out! We make a batch and they are usually gone within an hour. I would think much like kale chips, it depends on how you store them. Plastic tends to make things soggy so I would recommend a paper bag for storage.
Oooh you just made me realize though how I would love to have some apple pie now. But trying to whip up some apple chips would be an interesting feat to do this weekend! Thanks for sharing this <3
I added a sprinkle of brown sugar to them as well, and my family loved them. The power airfryer oven is awesome.
Oh that sounds awesome, what a great idea! Glad you are enjoying your airfryer and this recipe. Thanks for stopping by Adam.
I made these according to your directions and neither the time to process nor the temperature worked for my apples. At this point, I’m up to 235 degrees, and it’s running for at least 15 mins per side. I’m using gravenstein and Fuji’s.
I am sorry to hear that this did not work for you. I used Red Delicious Apples, maybe that makes a difference as far as how moist the apple is and I cut them very, very thin before cooking. I hope this helps, and thanks for stopping by!
I have a test sample of two apples in a 12.7 quart air fryer oven. My gbaby and I are eagerly awaiting the crispy apple chips. I initially was interested in get them to the dehydration point of the apples my mama and I used to make hand pies from.
Ok now I have to have a hand pie, that just sounds wonderful. I hope you enjoyed the recipe, thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I have Fuji apples to try. For Christmas a neighbor gave us a small bag of dehydrated cinnamon sugar apples that were absolutely great. They were not crispy chips but more leathery, which we prefer. Do you think cutting the slices a bit thicker will allow for that texture ? Or is there another secret?
I would think that cutting the slices thicker would be a great way to make them more leathery and less crunchy. Good luck!
Do you add them in a single layer? Or can they overlap each other?
I would suggest adding them in a single layer. Thanks for stopping by!
Hey man if you don’t pay attention when you were cooking with this thing you will find yourself asking “what beeps?”
Oh Pedro, you and Billy always make me laugh. Thanks for stopping by.
What a great snack! I’d try the banana chips too.
