Apple Pie Dip with Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips Recipe - Recipe Image

Ingredients

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
8 flour tortillas, 6 inches each
1/3 cup granulated sugar (for tortillas)
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon (for tortillas)
Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and fresh lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples.
Step 2: Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the apple mixture and water, then bring to a boil. Cover with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the apples are very tender, about 10 minutes.
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 apple mixture and stir well.
Step 4: Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the dip thickens.
Step 5: Remove from heat and set aside. The dip can be served warm or chilled according to your preference.
Step 6: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by spraying with non-stick cooking spray or lining with parchment paper.
Step 7: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the tortilla chips.
Step 8: Spray both sides of each tortilla lightly with cooking spray. Sprinkle both sides generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Step 9: Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges and lay them in a single layer on the baking sheet. You may need to bake in batches.
Step 10: Bake the tortilla wedges at 350°F for 9 to 12 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
Step 11: Remove from the oven and cool the chips on a wire rack before serving with the apple pie dip at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

Use a mix of sweet and tart apples like Fuji and Granny Smith for balanced flavor.
For extra richness, add a splash of vanilla extract to the apple dip after cooking.
Try serving the dip with graham crackers or pretzel sticks for a different crunch.
If you prefer a smoother texture, pulse the cooked apple mixture slightly in a blender before thickening.

Storage

Store the apple pie dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The tortilla chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days to maintain crispness. Reheat the dip gently in the microwave or on the stove before serving if desired.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use pre-cut apples for this recipe?

Yes, pre-cut apples can save time, but make sure they are fresh and not browning. Toss them with lemon juice to prevent discoloration if needed.

How can I make the dip ahead of time?

You can prepare the apple pie dip a day in advance and refrigerate it. Reheat gently before serving. The cinnamon sugar tortilla chips should be made fresh for the best texture.

Instructions

Combine Apple Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the apple cubes, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and fresh lemon juice until well mixed.
Cook Apples: Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat and pour in the apple mixture along with the water. Bring to a boil, then cover the pan with a lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the apples are very tender, about 10 minutes.
Thicken the Dip: Remove ½ cup of the cooking liquid from the pan and whisk in the cornstarch until smooth. Pour the cornstarch mixture back into the apples and stir well. Continue to cook over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens.
Finish Apple Pie Dip: Once thickened, remove the pan from heat. The apple pie dip can be served warm or chilled based on preference.
Prepare Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or lining with parchment paper.

Prepare Tortillas: Spray both sides of each tortilla with non-stick spray, then sprinkle both sides generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Cut Tortillas Into Chips: Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in batches if necessary for even cooking.
Bake Tortilla Chips: Bake the cinnamon sugar chips in the preheated oven at 350°F for 9-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Cool and Serve: Allow the baked chips to cool completely on wire racks. Serve at room temperature alongside the apple pie dip for a perfect sweet dipping experience.

Notes

The apple pie dip can be served warm for a comforting treat or chilled for a refreshing snack.
Use firmer apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture that holds up well during cooking.
Store leftover apple pie 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.
If you prefer a thicker dip, cook a little longer after adding the cornstarch mixture to reach desired consistency.
