Apple chips have been a popular snack for centuries, with evidence of dried apple slices being found in ancient Egyptian tombs. In the 1800s, dried apple slices were a common snack for American pioneers and were often used as a substitute for fresh fruit during the winter months. Today, air frying has become a popular method for making crispy and healthy apple chips without the use of oil.
