Apple Pie Dip with Pie Crust Chips

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

4 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced

2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

½ teaspoon kosher salt

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons water

¼ cup caramel sauce

1 egg

1 tablespoon water

2 round pie crusts, unbaked

Directions

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, I combine the diced apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, salt, flour, and water. I stir everything together and cook for 8–10 minutes until the apples are softened and fragrant.

I remove the pan from heat and stir in the caramel sauce. Then I let the mixture cool slightly.

I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, I whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash.

I unroll the pie crusts and lightly brush the tops with the egg wash.

I cut the dough into triangles or small rectangles and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

I bake the pie crust chips for about 15 minutes, or until they’re lightly golden and crisp.

Finally, I serve the warm apple pie dip with the pie crust chips on the side for dipping.

Variations

There are lots of ways I like to switch up this recipe:

I use puff pastry instead of pie crusts for a flakier chip.

I mix in chopped pecans or walnuts with the apple mixture for some extra texture.

I add a dash of nutmeg or cloves for a more complex spice flavor.

I swap the caramel for maple syrup for a more rustic sweetness.

For a shortcut, I use store-bought apple pie filling in a pinch — though homemade always tastes best.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers, I store the apple dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The pie crust chips can be stored at room temperature in a sealed container for 2–3 days. To reheat the dip, I warm it gently in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring occasionally until heated through.

FAQs

How do I keep the pie crust chips from getting soggy?

I make sure they cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. Also, I keep them separate from the dip until serving to maintain their crispiness.

Can I use a different type of apple?

Yes, I like to use Granny Smith apples for their tartness, but Honeycrisp or Fuji work well too for a sweeter flavor.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely. I often prepare the apple dip a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Then I reheat it just before serving and bake the pie crust chips fresh.

Is there a dairy-free version?

Yes, just ensure the pie crust you use is dairy-free, and check your caramel sauce ingredients. Many store-bought caramel sauces contain dairy, but there are vegan options available.

What else can I serve with the dip besides pie crust chips?

I sometimes serve this dip with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or cinnamon-sugar pita chips. Even sliced apples work if I want to keep it lighter.

Conclusion

This Apple Pie Dip with Pie Crust Chips is one of my favorite cozy desserts to make when I want the essence of apple pie without all the effort. It’s simple, satisfying, and always a hit with friends and family. Whether I’m celebrating fall or just craving something sweet and spiced, this recipe delivers comfort in every bite.
