Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • Large Skillet or saucepan
  • small bowl
  • large rimmed baking sheet
  • knife or cutting board

Ingredients

  • 5 medium apples peeled, cored, and chopped into ¼ inch cubes
  • cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Cinnamon Sugar Chips

  • 8 6 inch flour tortillas
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

Salsa:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the apple cubes, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice.
  • Heat a large skillet or saucepan (with a lid) over medium-high heat. Pour the apple mixture and water into the pan. Bring to a boil, then cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the apples are very tender, about 10 minutes (the exact cooking time depends on the apples).
  • Remove about ½ cup of the cooking liquid from the pan and whisk in the cornstarch. Pour the liquid with the cornstarch back into the salsa and stir well. Allow the salsa to cook over medium-low heat until thickened.
  • Remove the salsa from the heat. Serve warm or chilled.

Chips:

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
  • Pray both sides of each tortilla with non-stick cooking spray, then sprinkle both sides with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges and lay them out in a single layer on baking sheets (bake in batches if necessary).
  • Bake the chips at 350F for 9-12 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
  • Cool the chips on wire cooling racks and serve at room temperature.
