- Combine the peeled, cored, and chopped apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice in a medium mixing bowl. Toss until the apples are well coated and you can smell the sweet cinnamon aroma.
- Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium-high. Pour the apple mixture into the pan, add water, and bring everything to a gentle boil. Once you see bubbles, cover with a lid, turn the heat down to medium-low, and simmer until the apples become very tender and start to break down, filling the kitchen with cozy apple pie scent.
- Ladle out a portion of the cooking liquid from the pan into a bowl. Whisk in the cornstarch until smooth, then pour this slurry back into the apple mixture in the pan.
- Cook the apple pie dip over medium-low, stirring, until the mixture thickens and looks glossy and jammy. The apples should hold their shape but be soft enough to mash with a spoon.
- Remove the pan from heat. Decide if you want to serve the dip warm for gooey goodness, or chill it for a thicker, set texture.
- For the cinnamon sugar chips, preheat your oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly coat with non-stick spray.
- Mix the extra granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Spray both sides of each tortilla with non-stick spray, then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.
- Cut the tortillas into wedges or strips—kitchen shears work great for this—and lay in a single layer on your baking sheet.
- Bake the chips until they’re golden and crisp, listening for the telltale little taps as you shift them on the pan.
- Let the chips cool on a rack so they stay crunchy. Serve the apple pie dip at your chosen temperature with a heap of crispy cinnamon chips for dipping.
