Easy Apple Pie Dip
My husband is a huge fan of a hot, golden brown apple pie. Add vanilla ice cream, and he could eat a whole pie alone!
I just knew this apple pie dip recipe would be a hit, and it was! Pairing it with the cinnamon sugar chips was like eating a deconstructed apple pie.
This is the perfect dip recipe for fall, and it's also a no-bake recipe, which makes it better!
Favorite Apple Recipes
We love all things apple at my house, so here are a couple of our other favorite apple recipes:
- Candy Apples
- Fresh Apple Cake
- Apple Crisp for a Crowd
- Apple Crumble Pie
- Apple Pie Egg Rolls (Deep Fry or Air Fryer)
We made this easy dessert for a church get-together and everyone absolutely loved it! Apple Cinnamon Dip was a fun way to enjoy the classic flavors of apple pie with none of the fuss.
And this is not my only dessert dip recipe. I've also made Fruit Salsa, Pumpkin Pie Dip and a Cookie Dough Cheeseball.
The Best Apples for Apple Dip
Any fresh apples would work in this hot apple pie dip recipe but I prefer Gala Apples for a sweeter dip or Granny Smith Apples for a more tart apple dip recipe
It's really up to you - if you like sweet apples, go with Gala apples,Golden Delicious Apples, or Fuji Apples. Granny Smith Apples or Pink Lady Apples are the way to go for a more tart dip! But truly, any type of apples will work!

How to Make Apple Pie Dip
This simple dessert can be ready to enjoy in less than an hour.
- If you haven't already, dice the apples into very small pieces.
- Add all of the ingredients to a 3 quart pot and place over medium-high heat on the stove.
- Stir until yu have melted butter and all the other ingredients combined.
- Add the apples and toss to coat the diced apples with the sugar mixture.
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce to medium heat, and continue cooking for 10 minutes, or until the apples are softened and the liquid has become a deep caramel brown color.
- Make a cornstarch slurry by whisking together the water and cornstarch, then stir it into the apple mixture.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, and allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes until thickened.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Pour it into any pretty serving dish. I like pour it into a 9-inch pie dish 🙂 or even You can serve it warm or at room temperature.
- Serve with Cinnamon Tortilla Chips
For an extra decadent treat, drizzle some caramel sauce over the top to make a Caramel Apple Pie Dip!
Pro Tips
- Drizzle your hot apple pie dip with caramel sauce for an extra special and fun dessert.
- You can use any variety of apple that you prefer. I used Gala.
- If you don’t have cornstarch, you can use an equal amount of flour to thicken your dip. Just remember to make a slurry first, so that you don’t end up with chunks of hardened goo in your cinnamon apple dip.
- The dip will continue to thicken upon cooling. If you find that it's too thick, you can loosen it up with a little bit of water. Add about a tablespoon at a time until you get it loosened to your desired thickness.
- This pie dip makes a pretty delicious apple pie filling too!

Apple Pie Dip with Cinnamon Sugar Tortillas is the perfect snack for game day, a party appetizer, a baby shower, or a bridal shower!

I made this for a party we had yesterday afternoon, and it was a hit! I used honey crisp apples. I served whipped cream cheese, the cinnamon chips you made, and some graham crackers along with it. Will make again!!
