Ingredients

2 gala apples
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1½ teaspoons coconut oil, melted

Instructions

Wash the apples and remove the stem. With a mandolin set to 3mm or a very sharp knife, slice the apples into round chips leaving the skin on. Remove the seeds. Make sure to follow safety guidelines with your mandolin.
Toss the apples with the coconut oil, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated in a medium bowl or large plate. (Whatever is easier for you to turn the apple slices.)
Preheat the air-fryer to 300F. Place prepared apple slices in the air-fryer basket, in a single layer. Cook for 6 - 8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Continue in batches until you are done with all of the apple slices.
Remove apple chips from the Air Fryer and set them onto a cooling rack. They will continue to crisp up as they sit. If any feel damp or still squishy, leave those in the air fryer for another 2 minutes.

Notes

When you place the slices in the air fryer you can have them overlapping but ensure they are not placed on top of each other.
You will get around 20 - 30 slices from each of the apples. Just keep in mind that it depends on the apple's original size.

Store: Once the apple chips have fully cooled to room temperature, you can store them in an airtight container or ziploc bag to keep them fresh. They'll stay crispy for a few days, but they're best eaten within the first day or two.
