How about a 2 ingredient snack idea Weight Watchers recipe? Well...these Weight Watchers Air Fryer Apple Chips with cinnamon are only 2 ingredients and turn out crispy and delicious! Did I mention they smell really good too? Weight Watchers Air Fryer Apple Chips I know I have mentioned how much I like crunchy snacks. Using an air fryer is one way to get crispy snacks without added oil or grease. That is a win-win for people trying to lose weight. There are lots of air fryers on the market...and tons of pros/cons about using an air fryer. The biggest complaint I have heard is that they don't hold a lot of food so if you are feeding a crowd it could take forever. Another common complaint is that the machines are loud.
