Ingredients
Scale
Apple Pie Dip
- 5 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into ¼-inch cubes
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips
- 8 flour tortillas (6-inch)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup granulated sugar with 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon. Stir well and set aside.
- Make the Apple Pie Dip: In a medium saucepan, add the chopped apples, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, allowing the apples to soften and the sugar to dissolve, about 8-10 minutes.
- Thicken the Dip: In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the apple mixture in the saucepan and stir continuously. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens to a dip-like consistency. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Prepare Tortilla Chips: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray each tortilla lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle both sides with the cinnamon sugar mix prepared earlier.
- Cut and Bake Chips: Cut the tortillas into 6-8 triangular wedges. Arrange the wedges in a single layer on baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until crispy and golden brown, turning halfway through for even baking.
- Serve: Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving with the warm or room temperature apple pie dip. Enjoy this delightful combination as a sweet snack or dessert.
Notes
- Use a tart apple variety like Granny Smith for a balanced sweet-tart flavor.
- Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
- The dip can also be served warm or at room temperature depending on your preference.
- Adjust cinnamon and sugar according to taste preference.
