Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium fresh apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix), peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch, mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 6 medium flour tortillas (soft taco size; use gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel, core, and dice apples into small, uniform pieces.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Stir well.
  4. Cook apple mixture for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples soften and mixture bubbles.
  5. Mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Pour into apple mixture and stir. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened and glossy. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, if using.
  6. Lay tortillas on a cutting board. Brush both sides with melted butter.
  7. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a bowl. Sprinkle generously over tortillas.
  8. Cut tortillas into wedges (about 8 per tortilla).
  9. Arrange tortilla wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  10. Let chips cool completely to crisp up.
  11. Spoon apple pie dip into a serving bowl. Serve warm or at room temperature with cinnamon sugar chips for dipping.
  12. If dip is runny, cook a few more minutes or add extra cornstarch slurry. If chips aren’t crisp, bake another 2 minutes and let cool completely.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas. For vegan, substitute vegan butter or coconut oil. Taste apple mixture before thickening to adjust sweetness or acidity. Chips crisp up as they cool; bake in batches for best results. Add-ins like dried cranberries or pecans are delicious. Store dip in fridge up to 3 days; chips in airtight container for 2-3 days. Freeze dip up to 1 month.
