Print Recipe

These Easy Cinnamon Sugar Baked Apple Chips are a quick, healthy snack made in the air fryer with just apples, cinnamon, and a touch of sugar. They turn ordinary apples into crispy, caramelized chips that are perfect for after-school munchies, road trips, or as a crunchy topping on yogurt bowls.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples (about 300g total), such as Honeycrisp or Fuji
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and core the apples. Do not peel them.
  2. Slice the apples evenly to about 1/8-inch thickness using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Place the apple slices in a large bowl. If using coconut oil, drizzle it over the slices and toss gently. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apples and toss until every slice is evenly coated.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for 3 minutes.
  6. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, without overlapping. Work in batches if needed.
  7. Air fry at 300°F for 10-12 minutes, checking after 8 minutes. Cook until golden around the edges and slightly soft in the center.
  8. Transfer the chips to a wire rack or plate in a single layer and let them cool completely for at least 10 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool.
  9. Repeat with remaining slices.

Notes

Slice thickness is crucial: aim for 1/8-inch. Don’t skip the cooling step—chips crisp as they cool. Watch the last few minutes closely to prevent burning. For extra crispy chips, cook 12-14 minutes; for chewier chips, cook 10-11 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days. Re-crisp in air fryer at 300°F for 2-3 minutes if needed.
