Ingredients
- 1 apple
Steps
- Tho roughly wash the apples to remove any dirt or pesticide residue. Core the apples and remove all seeds, as they are toxic to dogs.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline slicer to cut the apples into thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick. Thin slices ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
- Set the air fryer to 300°F (150°C) and preheat for 2-3 minutes.
- Place the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping to ensure even airflow. Use parchment paper if your air fryer tends to stick.
- Cook at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on the chips to prevent burning.
- Let the apple chips cool completely before serving them to your dog. The chips will crisp up further as they cool.
Substitutions
- Use pears instead of apples
- Swap for sweet potato slices
