Copycat Seneca Apple Chips (Air Fryer)
Description
Crispy homemade apple chips made in the air fryer with no oil and no corn syrup — a cleaner copycat of store-bought Seneca apple chips, ready in about fifteen minutes.
Ingredients
- 5 small apples, Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Granny Smith
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons granulated sugar, optional
- Cooking spray, optional
Instructions
- Core the apples and slice them 1/8 inch thick, ideally using a mandoline for even thickness.
- Sprinkle the slices lightly with salt and let them rest 5 minutes, then blot dry with a paper towel.
- Preheat the air fryer to 300°F and lightly spray the basket.
- Combine the cinnamon and sugar, if using, and toss the apple slices until evenly coated.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer in the basket, working in batches as needed.
- Air fry for 16 to 20 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes, until the edges curl and the surface looks dry and matte.
- Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely — the chips crisp as they cool.
Equipment
- Apple Corer
- Mandoline
- Gloves For Protection
- Cooking Spray
Notes
Slice thickness matters more than any other variable. If the chips are still bendy after 10 minutes of cooling, return them to the air fryer for 2 more minutes. Store airtight at room temperature for up to one week.
