Apple Pie Dip & Cinnamon-Sugar Tortilla Chips

by Peachy on September 20, 2011

in dips, fruit, tea party

It looks like a gloomy Fall morning this morning, except…..

….there is no Fall here…

so this is just another gloomy morning that needs cheering up.

Do apples cheer you up?

No?

Of course not. Apple doesn’t cheer me up either.

But chips and dip does!

But we are on a health kick, remember?

So instead of the usual nachos and cheese, I made apple dip and wheat tortilla chips.

It’s healthy, it’s delicious and it makes your kitchen smell wonderful..

Oh, and it’s easy too!

This morning is made for snuggling in bed.

But I told myself, I’d wake up early to make this.

I know you’d be visiting and I’m so glad you’re here…

——♥♥♥——

I love how versatile this Apple Pie Dip can be.

You can use this as pie filling or ice cream topping or yogurt topping.

Apple Pie Dip & Cinnamon-Sugar Tortilla Chips

Author: The Peach Kitchen

Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apple
2 tbsp fresh lemon/calamansi juice
3 tbsp brown sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 tsp water

♥ for the chips

5 (6-inch) wheat tortillas
2 tablespoons butter, melted
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1½ tablespoons sugar

Directions

You can either cook this on the stove-top or the microwave.
Combine all the dip ingredients in a small pan/ microwaveable bowl except the cornstarch-water mixture.
Heat for a few minutes until it’s boiling and has extracted juice from the apple.
Add cornstarch-water mixture to the “sauce”
Put back in the microwave/stove top until boiling and the sauce has thickened.
Set aside. You can serve this warm or chilled. It doesn’t matter. It will taste delicious.
Cut tortillas into desired size. {wedges}
Put in a slightly greased baking pan.
Brush the tortillas with butter.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, and bake at 210º C {410ºF} until golden brown, about 5-8 minutes.
Let them cool before serving and serve with the Apple Pie Dip

This made me surprised! When I saw the picture at foodgawker, I thought it was a kind of filling soup with grains in it. Reading the post, I understand I was wrong. I came across with something even better! Never thought of pairing tortilla chips with apple dip, great idea! This absolutely would cheer me up!

Wow what a different way to enjoy tortillas. I never knew this can be sweet always have them savoury, this is worth a try.

I bet you could use Stacy’s pita chips that are already cinnamon sugar flavored! Yum

Just tried this recipe….yummy, but one question….my chips were not crispy! Any advice? Thanks!

  The tortillas won’t get crispy if you brushed them with too much butter. Just a little butter will do, just enough for the sugar and the cinnamon to stick to it.

  Hi Kelly,
  
  I used Fuji Apples. It had some crunch into it even after it was cooked.

These would be great if you cut pie crusts into wedges and used them as the chips!

  Hi Christi, Thanks for dropping by and this is delicious! If you are serving this as appetizer, this would serve 8-10 persons but if it’s like a snack, this is good for 6-8 persons only.

I made this for my 3 year-old daughter’s preschool class and the kids loved it. I made the adjustment of mixing & heating melted butter, brown sugar and cornstarch together. I wanted it to be a bit stickier so the kids could dip it easier. Worked like a charm and still tasted fantastic. Thanks for this!

Just made these tonight for company tomorrow. The kids went crazy for it and were stealing the chips (I used tortillas because I didn’t have pita bread). My DH said “Oh Wow!” when he tasted it all. That’s high praise! Thank so much for posting the recipe. I’m sure our company will love it!

This dip is great, and tt also makes the best vanilla ice cream topping!!
Susan

Great recipe – big hit at the party we made it for. For the benefit of others – I think the issue with chips that didn’t get crispy is possibly that they weren’t paying attention to 210 degrees celsius = 375 degrees fahrenheit. My husband figured this out when ours weren’t getting brown (I had set the oven to 210 degrees fahrenheit). ooops – I need to pay more attention to the recipes. ) Also – we used granny smith apples so I added a couple extra tablespoons of brown sugar to make the dip a little sweeter – other types of apples probably don’t require this.

  210 C is 410 F.

Hi Peach,

  the idea came to me because I love apple pie… the dip is very much like apple pie filling…..

I am definitely going to try this. I love apples and cinnamon.

Just a hint…u bake the tortillas at 410 Fahrenheit 210 Celsius…I was baking them at 210 Fahrenheit and was wondering why it was taking so long…then I read it again and realized it was in Celsius. Can’t wait to try these tonight!

This looks great but I am going to use graham crackers I think instead of the chips

I saw that you said this dip can be made the night before, which would really help me a lot. I know it can be served cold, but have you tried reheating it in the microwave? Just want to make sure it wouldn’t get too runny. Also, can the tortilla chips be kept overnight in a ziplock? Again, any soggy issues? I’m excited to give this a try!
- peachkins
  
  Hi Heidi,
  
  Yes, you can make the dip the night before and re-heat it in the microwave. However, I’m not so sure if the chips can survive in the ziplock and not get soggy. I guess you should make sure it has totally cooled before putting inside a ziplock. Thanks for dropping by.
  - Alm011688
    
    I haven’t made the apple dip yet but I have made baked cinnamon chips many, many times and they’ve never gotten soggy on me – I’ll make a big batch to last us the week and they stay fine in a ziplock bag.

I always have a list of recipes I make during the fall apple-picking season. You know, the typical apple crumble & apple pies. But this is definitely making the list! Besides multiplying the recipe by a million, it’s soo awesome! You don’t have to go out and buy anything special, everything is already in your cupboard! I just used margarine since I didn’t have butter, and I didn’t see any big difference. I found this recipe via Pinterest.
My only critique is that my apple “sauce” wasn’t as saucy as I thought it would be… maybe more liquidness would make it better! And to cut the apple pieces really small, as it’s not specified in the recipe ! This would be such a great appetizer .. I can picture the apple sauce in little dishes surrounded by the tortilla chips. Yummy.

  Hi S9, Thanks for dropping by. This dip is delcious whether it’s warm, cold and room temp.
Alm011688

This looks like the perfect thing to add to my baked cinnamon chips! I usually just serve them plain and people gobble them up and I’ve thought about making a dip but I’m not a huge fan of cream cheese dips (they are okay on occasion) so apple pie did sounds lovely! *also, I spread butter on my tortillas, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar, and THEN cut them so that would save you time instead of spreading butter and sprinkling cinnamon sugar on them individually.
Lindsay

I found this recipe on Pinterest a few weeks ago, and now after first making it, I’m wondering why it took me so long! This is such a delicious snack/dessert. Thank you!

Would you be able to make the dip in the slow cooker? Or are the apple pieces supposed to be crunchy?
- http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=601730612 Jennie Kuhns
  
  I made this as the recipe indicates, but then put it in a mini-crockpot to keep warm when it was served. Also, I cheated and used Stacy’s Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips and Lorna Doone shortbread cookies as dippers instead of making the chips. So good! Making it for Thanksgiving, too!

  I used fuji apples but I think you can use pretty much any kind of apple… I think cutting the tortillas with a leaf cookie cutter would make it much prettier! Thanks for dropping by…
