TIPS & SUGGESTIONS for making BEST AIR FRIED APPLE CHIPS

Wash the Apple really well, to ensure the apples are clear of the wax.

Do not slice Apples with more than ⅛th inch thick. Thin slices of Apples will yield crispy chips.  Thicker slices will not be crispy but they will still be delicious.

Coring the Apples is to a personal liking. I prefer to core the apples sometimes, when my daughter was too little! There is no worry about the kids choking with the seeds.

Color of the Apple Chip -will depend on the type of apple. After numerous experiments, we found Crispy variety of apples like granny smith turn lighter whereas Soft sweet variety of apples like royal gala yield darker chips.

Store these air fryer apple chips in air tight jars for up to a week.

Cooking Time will vary depending on the variety of apples use and how much moisture remains in the apples. So adjust accordingly.

Apple chips are thinly sliced apples that are lightly sprinkled with cinnamon, then baked until pleasantly crisp. Healthy homemade apple chips are a remarkably addictive snack. Unlike their store-bought counterparts, however, this apple chips recipe uses no sugar and the chips are baked, not fried.

Serving Suggestion for Air fryer Apple Chips

Enjoy these chips as a stand alone snack ( as it is ) - This is my favourite way!

You can also add them to your morning breakfast porridge, yogurt cups, parfait, salads or even trail mix.  These are so delicious, that you will love them in every possible way.
