I love how easy it is to whip this up for a snack or party treat. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy dessert that doubles as a dip? It’s a sweet win-win! 🍏✨
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Cream Cheese: This gives the dip its creamy base. If you’re looking for a lighter version, try using Greek yogurt. It adds creaminess and extra protein!
Sour Cream: I like using sour cream for a bit of tang. You can swap it with plain yogurt if you prefer or need a lactose-free option.
Apples: Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples are great here. They hold up well. If you want a sweeter dip, feel free to mix in some chopped peaches or pears!
Flour Tortillas: While I use flour tortillas for a soft texture, corn tortillas are also a good choice if you’re gluten-free. You can also use pita chips or store-bought cinnamon chips in a crunch!
How Do I Get the Cinnamon Tortilla Chips Just Right?
The secret to perfect cinnamon tortilla chips is all in the baking. Ensure they are evenly coated with melted butter before adding the cinnamon sugar mix. Here’s a quick guide:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for even cooking.
- Make sure the tortillas are cut into wedges for optimal crunch. Keep an eye on them as they bake to avoid burning.
- Once out of the oven, let them cool! This helps them get even crisper.
Trust me, these tips will give you the perfect chips for dipping! Enjoy your delicious apple pie dip!

- 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped apples (peeled and diced)

- 1 tablespoon butter

- 6-8 flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious Apple Pie Dip takes about 15 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to bake the chips. You’ll be ready to serve in about 25 minutes, making it a quick and fun treat for any occasion!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cinnamon Tortilla Chips:
First, let’s get those crispy chips going! Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take each tortilla and brush both sides with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this sweet mixture evenly over both sides of each tortilla.
Next, cut the tortillas into triangular wedges—about 6 wedges per tortilla is perfect. Place the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake them for 8-10 minutes, or until they’re crispy and lightly browned. Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool. They’ll get even crispier as they cool!
2. Prepare the Apple Pie Dip:
Now for the yummy dip! In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add in the diced apples, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Cook this for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool a bit.
In a mixing bowl, take your softened cream cheese and beat it until it’s nice and smooth. Then, add the sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix these ingredients together until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Gently fold in the cooled apple mixture, saving some of the apple topping for garnishing the dip if you’d like!
3. Serve:
Transfer your delicious apple pie dip into a serving bowl. If you saved some caramelized apples, spoon those on top for an extra special touch. Now, grab your crunchy cinnamon tortilla chips and dig in! This dip is perfect for sharing or enjoying all by yourself!

Can I Use Different Types of Apples?
Absolutely! Granny Smith apples offer a lovely tartness that pairs well with the sweet dip, but you can also use Honeycrisp or Fuji apples for a sweeter twist. Feel free to mix and match for extra flavor!
How Can I Store Leftovers?
If you have any leftover dip, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The cinnamon tortilla chips can be kept in a sealed bag at room temperature for a few days. Just be aware that they may lose some crispiness.
Can I Make This Dip Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can prepare the dip a day in advance. Just store it in the fridge without the apple topping until you’re ready to serve. Add the caramelized apples right before serving to keep everything fresh!
What’s a Good Alternative for Tortilla Chips?
If you prefer, you can substitute the cinnamon tortilla chips with pita chips, graham crackers, or even pretzels. For a healthier option, try apple slices for a fun twist that complements the dip perfectly!
