Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 5 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into ¼-inch cubes
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Chips Ingredients
- 8 flour tortillas (6-inch)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Mix the Apples and Sugars: Stir together the diced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice in a medium mixing bowl to coat the apples evenly and build the flavor base for the dip.
- Cook the Apples: Transfer the apple mixture to a saucepan or large skillet with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the apples become tender, softening perfectly for the dip.
- Prepare Cornstarch Slurry: Remove ½ cup of the cooking liquid from the pan and whisk in the cornstarch until smooth to avoid lumps. This slurry will help thicken the dip.
- Thicken the Dip: Pour the cornstarch slurry back into the pan and stir well. Continue cooking for a few minutes until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency, then remove from heat.
- Serve the Dip: You can serve the dip warm for a cozy treat or chilled for a refreshing twist. It’s delicious either way!
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get ready for baking the tortilla chips.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the perfect coating.
- Coat Tortillas: Spray both sides of each flour tortilla with non-stick cooking spray (or brush with melted butter for extra flavor) and sprinkle both sides evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Cut and Arrange Chips: Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges. Place the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overlap for even baking.
- Bake the Chips: Bake for 9-12 minutes until the chips are golden brown and crisp, watching carefully towards the end to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve: Let the chips cool completely on wire racks so they crisp up fully before serving alongside the apple pie dip.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can brush the tortillas with melted butter instead of using cooking spray.
- If you prefer a chunkier dip, reduce the cooking time slightly to keep some apple pieces intact.
- This dip can be refrigerated and served chilled, making it great for make-ahead parties.
- Use fresh lemon juice to prevent the apples from browning and add a slight tang.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to keep them crispy.
