Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Chips

  • Store-bought or homemade cinnamon chips (made from tortilla slices brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar)

Apple Topping

  • 2 cups fresh apples, diced (preferably crisp varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Cream Cheese Drizzle

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk or cream (to adjust consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cinnamon Chips: If making homemade cinnamon chips, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice tortillas into triangles, brush each piece with melted butter, sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar, and bake on a baking sheet until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. If using store-bought chips, simply set them aside ready for layering.
  2. Cook the Spiced Apples: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender but still retain their shape, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Make the Cream Cheese Drizzle: In a bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and a splash of milk or cream until smooth and pourable. Adjust the drizzle consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
  4. Assemble the Nachos: Arrange a generous layer of cinnamon chips on a large serving plate or tray. Spoon the warm apple mixture evenly over the chips. Drizzle the cream cheese sauce on top in flowing ribbons to create an attractive finish.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle with chopped toasted nuts, a light dusting of cinnamon powder, or mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately to maintain chip crunchiness.

Notes

  • Choose crisp apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture.
  • Do not overcook apples; they should be tender but still firm to maintain a pleasant bite.
  • Adjust the sweetness in both the apple topping and cream cheese drizzle to suit your taste preferences.
  • Assemble and serve immediately to keep the cinnamon chips crunchy.
  • If the cream cheese drizzle thickens, chill it and whisk again before drizzling.
