- 2 large apples
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
Chocolate Tahini Dip
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons tahini
Cut the apples crosswise using a mandoline into very thin slices (about 3mm or ⅛ inch). Lightly tap out any seeds from the center.
Place the apple slices in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with the cinnamon and nutmeg. Toss to coat the slices well.
Place the apple slices in the basket of an air fryer. Set the machine to 250°F and set the timer for 15 minutes. NOTE: If your air fryer basket is small, you may want to do this in 2 batches so the slices cook evenly.
After 15 minutes, toss the apple slices. Set the timer for another 15 minutes and cook them again for a total of 45 minutes.
While the apples cook, make the dip, combine the cocoa powder and water in a small bowl. Using a fork, whisk well until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the maple syrup and tahini and whisk until smooth.
The apple chips will crisp up as they cool. If you're not sure that they are done, take one or two out of the air fryer basket and let them cool. If they're still chewy, return them to the basket and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
These are best eaten the same day but you can keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To crisp them up again, cook them in the air fryer at 250ºF for about 10 minutes.
