Shoutout to my mom for convincing me to try air fryer apple chips
I always thought making apple chips at home was too much work and wouldn't turn out right. My mom kept telling me to use the air fryer, but I brushed it off. Last week, I had some apples going bad, so I gave it a shot. I sliced them thin, tossed with a little cinnamon, and set the air fryer to 300 degrees for 15 minutes. They came out super crispy and sweet, no oil needed. Now I make them every weekend for snacks. The best part is how quick and easy it is compared to the oven. I'm totally converted and even got my kids hooked on them.

My first try with apple chips ended up with one batch burnt and the next one still soggy... I was adjusting the time every five minutes like you said. The whole kitchen smelled like burnt sugar and I had to scrub the basket forever. Felt like such a waste of two apples and half an hour. Honestly just gave up and went back to buying the bagged ones from Trader Joe's.

Actually that sounds like way more hassle than it's worth to me. You have to do them in tiny batches because the air fryer basket is so small, and they burn super easy if you don't watch them like a hawk. The cleanup is sticky and annoying too. Maybe it's just me, but by the time you're done, you could have just bought a bag from the store.

The whole air fryer process seems like a solid 45 minute project for like 12 chips. At that point I'm just eating a real apple or some pretzels.
