Cinnamon Apple Chips
With only 4 ingredients, this is an easy and unique apple snack. Slice apples, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake until crisp. It can also be made in an air fryer, and I give you both options.
If using the air fryer, they take 20 minutes to bake.

Ingredients
- 4 apples
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar light or dark
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
For the oven:
- Preheat the oven to 200°F (95°C).
- Wash and dry 4 apples with skin. Slice very thinly with a mandoline. Remove seeds.
- Combine 1 tablespoon cinnamon with 3 tablespoons powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons brown sugar in a bowl.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the apple slices in a single layer. Using a fine-mesh sieve, sprinkle them with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Flip the slices over and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on both sides.
- Bake for about 1 hour. Flip the apples over with a spatula, and dry them out for another 40-60 minutes.
- Remove the sheet and let the apple chips cool on the counter. They will become crisper.
For the air fryer:
- Place apple slices in 1-2 layers in the air fryer basket.
- Sprinkle it with sugar and cinnamon mixture; no need to turn them over and sprinkle both sides.
- Air fry at 300°-320°F for 15-20 minutes. check every 5 minutes, turning the chips and shaking the basket. If the chips are browning too quickly, lower the temperature.
- Remove from the basket and let them cool until crisp.
Notes
Baking time: consider that all ovens and pans are different, even if they look similar. The baking time in my recipes is as accurate as possible, but it might take you more or less time. You can use a thermometer to check that your oven is at the right temperature. I recommend keeping track of how your oven works and what tiny details you might need to adjust.
Slice them thin so they bake evenly and crisp well. A regular mandoline or hand-held mandoline (my choice) is the perfect tool for this.
Storage: cool the chips completely and store them in an airtight glass jar or container. You can re-crisp them in a low oven if they lose their crispness.
