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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Simmer until Thickened: Continue cooking the apple dip over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to a creamy, dip-friendly consistency.
- Cool the Dip: Remove the pan from heat. The dip can be served warm immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for later use.
- 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.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the tortilla chips coating.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
