🥧 Apple Pie Dip with Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips – A Cozy Classic Made Fun!

Hey there, foodies! Chef Alex here, and today I’m sharing a cozy, nostalgic recipe that turns a classic apple pie into something a little extra fun. Picture this—tender, fragrant apples simmered to perfection, creating a sweet, cinnamon-kissed dip that’s perfect for scooping up with crispy homemade cinnamon sugar tortilla chips. Yum! 🍎✨

Every time I whip up this Apple Pie Dip, memories flood in—warm kitchens on fall afternoons, laughing with family around the dinner table, and sneaking bites before dessert was officially served. Those were the days! Luckily, this recipe lets you relive all of those warm moments, in an easy-to-share (and easy-to-dip!) treat everyone will fall head over heels for.

My Personal Memory—More Than Just a Dip

I still remember the first time I experimented with this recipe. It was a chilly November afternoon, snow gently drifting past the window. Friends were on their way for our monthly game night, and I wanted to bake something cozy, comforting, and shareable. But traditional apple pie felt like too much work—and honestly, we all needed our hands free for those intense board game moments! Then inspiration hit: apple pie flavors, but in the form of a dip. Easy, fun, and delicious. I quickly whipped up a batch, made crunchy cinnamon sugar chips for dunking, and guess what? We devoured every last bit! Now, this dip is a staple at every game night, holiday gathering, and cozy winter evening.

Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe is wonderfully easy and requires simple pantry ingredients. Here’s your handy shopping list:

🍏 For the Apple Pie Dip:

• 5 medium apples (I love using Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and diced into ¼-inch cubes
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice (keeps it fresh and bright!)
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp cornstarch (thickens it up perfectly)

🌟 For the Cinnamon Sugar Chips:

• 8 flour tortillas (6 inches each)
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• Non-stick cooking spray or melted butter

👩‍🍳 Let’s Get Cooking—Step-by-Step Instructions

Alright, apron on, let’s dive right in!

To Make the Apple Pie Dip:

1. In a medium bowl, toss together diced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and fresh lemon juice.
2. Transfer the apple mixture into a large skillet. Add water (1 cup), bring it all to a gentle boil.
3. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer until apples are tender—around 10 minutes.
4. Scoop out about ½ cup of the cooking liquid into a bowl. Whisk in cornstarch until smooth, creating a slurry.
5. Add your cornstarch slurry back to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes, until dip reaches your desired consistency (thick and gooey goodness!).
6. Serve this beautifully warm or chill in the fridge for later—both ways taste absolutely delicious!

To Make the Cinnamon Sugar Chips:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
2. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon together until evenly combined.
3. Spray or brush both sides of each tortilla with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter.
4. Sprinkle each side generously with cinnamon sugar mixture.
5. Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges. Arrange pieces on baking sheets in a single layer (use multiple pans if necessary).
6. Bake for about 9–12 minutes or until golden brown and delightfully crispy.
7. Cool your cinnamon tortilla chips on wire racks before serving.

Serving Suggestions—Dip, Scoop, Enjoy!

This delightful Apple Pie Dip is perfect warm, nestled in a pretty bowl alongside your freshly baked cinnamon sugar tortilla chips. For extra indulgence, add a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a generous drizzle of caramel sauce for the ultimate dessert experience. If hosting a party, consider serving alongside crisp apple slices or buttery shortbread cookies too.

Chef Alex’s Pro Tips 💡

• Apple Choice Matters: For a balanced flavor, mix tart Granny Smith apples with sweeter apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp.
• Prep Ahead: You can prepare the Apple Pie Dip a day ahead and chill it overnight. Simply reheat gently in the microwave or enjoy chilled straight from the fridge.
• Cinnamon Sugar Shortcut: To save time later, prepare a batch of cinnamon sugar and store it in an airtight spice jar—great for future baking and breakfasts!
