Instructions
For the Dip:
In a bowl, toss chopped apples with brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, cardamom (if using), and lemon juice.
Pour the apple mixture and water into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer about 10 minutes, until apples are tender (check and stir often to make sure the apple mixture isn’t sticking to the bottom).
Scoop out ½ cup of the cooking liquid, whisk it with cornstarch, then stir it back into the pan.
Cook a few more minutes until the mixture thickens into a glossy, apple pie-style dip. Serve warm or chilled.
For the Chips:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
Spray both sides of each flour tortilla with nonstick spray, then coat generously with cinnamon sugar.
Slice into wedges and lay flat on baking sheets (no stacking!).
Bake 9–12 minutes until golden and crisp. Cool before serving.
