Notes
Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture.
Do not overcook the apples; they should be tender but not mushy.
Cut tortillas into uniform triangles so they bake evenly.
Let the dip sit for 5 minutes after cooking to thicken.
Store dip and chips separately to keep chips crisp. Dip keeps 3 days in the fridge; chips stay crunchy in a ziplock at room temperature.
