How do you make Air-Fried Apple Chips?
Apple chips are super easy to make and don't take much time or effort, especially with an air-fryer. You can save time by prepping the apples before you air fry them. Get at least two medium apples and cut them into thin slices, and make sure to remove the seeds. The first and only step is air-frying the apple slices. Mix nutmeg and cinnamon in a bowl and sprinkle the apple slices when they're in the air-fryer basket. Air-fry the first batch of apple slices at 300 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Flip the slices over, sprinkle them, and continue cooking. Remove them from the fryer and repeat the process with the remaining apple slices. Also, don't forget to make the honey-cinnamon fruit dip in between frying! All you need are the ingredients, a bowl, and a hand mixer. Put the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, honey, and cinnamon in a medium bowl and mix. The dip doesn't take long to make, so place it in the refrigerator until the apples are done.
