Description
A warm, spiced apple dip paired with crunchy cinnamon sugar chips, perfect for gatherings, movie nights, or a sweet surprise after dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith recommended)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 flour tortillas (8-inch size)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the diced apples and stir to coat.
- Sprinkle in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to combine, and let the apples cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re soft and fragrant.
- Pour in the water and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Once the apple mixture has cooled, stir it into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until evenly combined and creamy.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter, then sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon sugar over both sides.
- Cut the tortillas into wedges or strips using a knife or pizza cutter.
- Arrange the pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the chips are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!
- Let the chips cool slightly before serving. Pair them with your apple pie dip and enjoy!
Notes
[‘Cut apples into uniform pieces for even cooking.’, ‘Add a splash of milk or cream if the dip is too thick.’, ‘Bake chips in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure crispiness.’, ‘Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth dip.’, ‘Keep a close watch on the chips to prevent overbaking.’]
