What You’ll Need for Air Fryer Apple Crisps

Essential Ingredients

  • 2 large apples, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Nut Mix

Sprinkle a bit of chopped nuts on the apple slices before air frying for extra crunch and flavour. Nuts add protein and healthy fats, enhancing the satisfying crunch of the apple crisps. They also elevate the nutritional profile of this snack, making it even more exciting and wholesome.

Choosing the Best Apples

Freshness is key when making air fryer apple crisps. Opt for firm, sweet-tart apples like Granny Smith for the best results. Firm apples hold their shape better during air frying, giving you that perfect crunch every time. Additionally, the natural sweetness of fresh apples reduces the need for added sugar, keeping the crisps healthy and delicious.

Steps to Cook Air Fryer Apple Crisps

Let's turn those apples into crisps!

  1. Core and thinly slice the apples using a sharp knife or mandoline.
  2. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  3. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer basket inside the air fryer.
  4. Cook at 160°C for 10-15 minutes or until the apples are golden and crispy.

Avoid Overcrowding

Ensure you spread the apple slices in a single layer for even cooking. Overcrowding can lead to uneven crispness, so take your time to arrange them properly. Use a metal rack if needed to cook in batches for perfect crunch.
