Apple Pie Dip & Cinnamon-Sugar Tortilla Chips
For the last few days i've been wanting to make something sweet. Couldn't think of anything i could make. It wasn't until i realized that i had tortillas that i figured out i could make this. this is the recipe i tried to follow http://www.thepeachkitchen.com/2011/09/apple-pie-party-dip-cinnamon-sugar-tortilla-chips/
Apple dip:
The apples were a lot easier to make than i thought it would be. These are the apples i used, was the only ones we had.
They actually worked really well for this. Eating wise, i find them a little hard to just bite into, but made for good texture in the dip.
Only thing i did different for the dip was that we don't have cornstarch. I did some reading before making and it pretty much said i could use flour in replace. So i did 3 teaspoons of flour instead. Well i guess i didn't use FRESH lemon juice either, but had the lemon juice from those lemon shaped containers. Still ended up tasting like apple pie filling. Now that i know it's not that hard to make, maybe i'll make a pie sometime lol. I did find the cutting the apples into pieces to be annoying, but that was partly because the apples i used were so small. I think i used about 4 of these apples to get 2 cups worth...maybe 3, don't remember.
The chips:
I've tried making chips before, haven't really found yet a perfect way of making them. For this batch, realizing now that i read it wrong lol. Just noticed that the Celsius is before the Fahrenheit i'm use to seeing it the other way around so i just didn't read close enough. Anyways, i tried to cook it at 210 Fahrenheit and 5 minutes was not enough lol. i had them in for like maybe half an hour before i finally bumped up the temp to 300 and then it was just another 10 or so minutes, maybe 15...i really don't remember, this was a late night make and i'm going off little sleep while writing this. Anyways, i finally got them done and they turned out decent enough. Realizing that the temp was wrong from the start, i don't feel too bad about what i thought was the problem. Might of still added too much butter and topping...but i wanted to make sure i could taste it lol. So i didn't follow the measurements for the sugar and cinnamon, i also didn't mix them together for sprinkling, so they aren't very evenly spread.
They still came out good. crispy enough to use in the dip.
Over all taste:
everything was good together...didn't exactly fill that sweet taste i was looking for, but was still good. I like apple pie, so even if i just made the dip without the chips would of been good lol.
