A quick and easy recipe for crispy cinnamon apple chips made in the air fryer, served with a sweet honey dipping sauce. Perfect for a healthy, crunchy snack that balances sweetness and spice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples (Gala or Honeycrisp preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or coconut sugar (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (for dipping sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon water (to mix with honey for dipping sauce)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the apples. Slice into thin, even slices about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Remove any seeds.
  2. Place apple slices in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with cinnamon. Add sugar if using. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  3. Optional: Melt butter and brush each apple slice on both sides for extra crispness.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 300Β°F (150Β°C) for about 3 minutes.
  5. Arrange apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Work in batches if necessary.
  6. Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping slices halfway through. Check crispiness after 15 minutes; thinner slices may finish earlier.
  7. Remove chips and transfer to a cooling rack or paper towels. Let cool for about 5 minutes to crisp up further.
  8. Warm honey and water in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl until pourable (about 30 seconds). Stir and set aside.
  9. Serve apple chips with honey dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

Use firm apples with no bruises for best crispiness. For vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping. If chips are not crispy enough, air fry a few more minutes watching closely to avoid burning. Store chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days and re-crisp in air fryer if needed.
