Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

2 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), thinly sliced

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Ensure that the apples are well-coated to enhance their flavor. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the apples to soften slightly.

      Create Tortilla Chips: Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut each flour tortilla into 8 wedges, giving them a chip-like shape. Lay the tortilla wedges out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

        Brush with Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and pure vanilla extract. Using a pastry brush, generously coat each tortilla wedge with the butter mixture, making sure to cover the edges.

          Sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar: In another small bowl, mix any leftover sugar with an additional sprinkle of ground cinnamon (about 1 teaspoon). Evenly sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar blend over the buttered tortilla wedges to achieve a sweet, aromatic flavor.

            Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake the tortilla chips for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes to avoid burning.

              Add Apple Topping: Once the chips are baked, remove them from the oven. While they are still warm, carefully pile the cinnamon-apple mixture on top of each chip. This will allow the heat to slightly soften the apples, enhancing their tenderness.

                Serve and Enjoy: Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, either on their own or with a delightful side of caramel sauce or whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
