Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium apples (about 1 lb), peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 small (6-inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for chips)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for chips)

Instructions

  1. Peel, core, and dice the apples into small, even pieces.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir to coat and cook for 4-5 minutes until apples start to soften.
  3. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with lemon juice to make a slurry. Pour into the simmering apples, add vanilla extract, and stir constantly for another 3-4 minutes until thickened and apples are tender but not mushy. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the chips.
  5. Brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar on both sides. Stack tortillas and cut into sixths or eighths to make chip-sized wedges.
  6. Arrange tortilla wedges in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping once halfway, until golden and crisp. Let cool on the tray.
  7. Serve the warm apple pie dip in a bowl surrounded by cinnamon chips. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples for best flavor and texture. For gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas. Watch the chips closely as they bake to prevent burning. The dip can be made ahead and reheated; chips are best fresh but can be re-crisped in a low oven. Add caramel sauce or toasted pecans for extra indulgence.
