Notes

  • Using a mandolin to slice the apples works best. Alternatively, use a sharp knife.
  • Don't cut them too thin, as they can burn without actually crisping up.
  • Try to make sure the apple slices are all the same thickness so they will cook at the same rate.
  • If thickness varies, divide into batches according to thickness and cook similar size apple slices together.
  • If some slices are cooking quicker than others, simply remove the quicker cooking ones earlier.
  • Note that your apple chips may not be fully crispy when done, but don’t fret. They will crisp upon cooling.
  • Cook time will also depend on the thickness of your apple slices. If they are very thin, they may cook a bit faster.
  • Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model, so this recipe includes a range of suggested cook times.
  • Storage - keep in an airtight container stored at room temperature for 7-9 days.
  • There are 0 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
