Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Tortillas (6-inch, flour)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 4 pieces Apples (peeled, cored, and diced, medium size)
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for apple filling)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cut the tortillas into triangular pieces, like chip shapes.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the chips.
Brush both sides of each tortilla piece with melted butter, then sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Lay the tortilla pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir to coat the apples evenly.
Add the water to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the saucepan and stir until the filling thickens (about 2–3 minutes). Remove from heat.
To assemble, arrange the baked tortilla chips on a platter or serving dish.
Spoon the warm apple pie filling evenly over the chips.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top, then add dollops of whipped cream.
Garnish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
