Ingredients

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

Tortilla Chips Ingredients

  • 8 flour tortillas (6-inch)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Non-stick cooking spray (or melted butter for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly to evenly coat the apples with the sugar and spices.
  2. Cook the Apples: Transfer the apple mixture into a saucepan or large skillet along with 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Simmer: Once boiling, cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the apples simmer until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Make the Cornstarch Slurry: Remove half a cup of the cooking liquid from the pan. In a small bowl, whisk the liquid together with the cornstarch until smooth.
  5. Thicken the Dip: Pour the cornstarch slurry back into the pan with the apples and stir well. Continue cooking the mixture until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  6. Finish the Dip: Remove the pan from the heat. You can serve the dip warm or chilled depending on preference.
  7. Preheat Oven for Chips: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the tortilla chips.
  8. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the chip coating.
  9. Prepare Tortillas: Spray both sides of each flour tortilla with non-stick cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Sprinkle both sides generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  10. Cut and Arrange: Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges. Place the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. If necessary, bake in two batches to avoid overcrowding.
  11. Bake the Chips: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 12 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crisp. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  12. Cool and Serve: Transfer the chips to wire cooling racks to cool to room temperature. Serve alongside the apple pie dip.

Notes

  • You can use any variety of apples you prefer; tart apples like Granny Smith add a nice balance to the sweetness.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute melted butter for the non-stick spray on the tortilla chips.
  • If you want a smoother dip, lightly mash some of the apples after cooking.
  • Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • These chips are best enjoyed the same day as they may become less crisp over time.
