4.4 from 50 reviews

A warm and flavorful Apple Pie Salsa that combines the sweetness of apples with cinnamon and a hint of lemon, thickened to a perfect dip consistency. Ideal served with cinnamon sugar chips for a cozy dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Apple Pie Salsa

  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 cup Water
  • 3 large Apples, peeled and chopped
  • 3 tbsp Cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, mix together the brown sugar, sugar, and cinnamon. Add the lemon juice and water, then stir in the peeled and chopped apples to the liquid mixture.
  2. Cook Apples: Heat the saucepan over medium heat until the mixture reaches a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes, or until the apples become tender and soft.
  3. Thicken Sauce: Carefully remove 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid from the pan and transfer it into a small bowl. Stir in the cornstarch thoroughly to avoid lumps, then pour this mixture back into the saucepan.
  4. Simmer to Thicken: Cook the salsa on low heat while stirring constantly. Continue until the mixture thickens to a dip-like consistency, ensuring it does not stick to the pan or burn.
  5. Serve: Serve warm with cinnamon sugar chips or your favorite dipping snack for a delicious and comforting treat.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweet and tangy flavor.
  • Adjust sugar quantities based on the sweetness of your apples.
  • Ensure continuous stirring when thickening to prevent lumps and burning.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture, or refrigerate and warm gently before serving.
  • This salsa doubles as a topping for pancakes or ice cream.
