Ingredients

• 5 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into ¼ inch cubes
• 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed

3. Step 3: Remove ½ cup of the cooking liquid from the pan and whisk in the cornstarch until smooth. Pour this mixture back into the apples and stir well.
4. Step 4: Continue cooking the apple dip over medium-low heat until it thickens, then remove from heat. Serve warm or chilled.

7. Step 7: Spray both sides of each tortilla with non-stick cooking spray, then sprinkle both sides generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
8. Step 8: Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in batches if necessary.
9. Step 9: Bake at 350 degrees F for 9-12 minutes until the chips are golden brown and crisp. Cool on wire racks before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For extra richness, stir a tablespoon of butter into the apple dip after thickening.
• Try serving with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for a decadent dessert.
• Swap flour tortillas for whole wheat or gluten-free ones to suit dietary needs.

Apple Pie Dip

• 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

Cinnamon Sugar Tortillas

• 8 6-inch Flour Tortillas
• 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
• Non-stick Cooking Spray

Instructions

1. Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peeled and chopped apple cubes, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and fresh lemon juice. Mix thoroughly to coat the apple pieces evenly.
2. Cook the Apples: Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour in the combined apple mixture along with 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the apples until they become very tender, about 10 minutes, adjusting time depending on apple type.
3. Thicken the Dip: Remove half a cup of the cooking liquid from the pan and whisk in the cornstarch until smooth. Pour this cornstarch slurry back into the apple mixture and stir well to combine thoroughly.
4. Simmer until Thickened: Continue cooking the apple dip over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to a creamy, dip-friendly consistency.
5. Cool the Dip: Remove the pan from heat. The dip can be served warm immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for later use.
6. Preheat Oven for Chips: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper.
7. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the tortilla chips coating.
8. Prepare Tortillas: Spray both sides of each tortilla with non-stick cooking spray. Then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over both sides of each tortilla, ensuring good coverage.
9. Cut and Arrange Tortillas: Cut each coated tortilla into 8 wedges and lay them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
10. Bake Chips: Bake the tortilla wedges for 9 to 12 minutes at 350°F, or until they turn golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye to prevent burning.
11. Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and cool them on wire racks. Serve the apple pie dip at room temperature or chilled, accompanied by the cinnamon sugar tortilla chips.

Notes

• You can use any sweet apple variety such as Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
• If you prefer a smoother dip, pulse the cooked apple mixture in a food processor before thickening.
• The dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
• Adjust the amount of cinnamon to taste for a milder or stronger spice flavor.
• Make sure to watch the chips carefully while baking to prevent burning as oven temperatures may vary.
