Helpful Tips
Dipper ideas!
If you're not up for making the homemade chips, you can serve this dip with store bought pita chips, graham crackers, gingersnap cookies, vanilla wafers, or even fresh apple slices.
Use room temperature cream cheese
It will be much easier to mix this way - trust me. I simply leave mine out on the kitchen counter for a couple hours before I start cooking.
Cutting the Chips
I used a leaf shaped cookie cutter to really get in the Fall spirit here. But if that's too much trouble, you can simply cut the pitas into wedges for typical triangle shaped chips.
Don't skimp on the cinnamon-sugar coating for the chips
This is the best part - don't be stingy!
Storing Leftovers
You can store any leftover dip in a covered container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
Variations
Make it healthier
For a health-conscious twist, substitute the flour tortillas with whole wheat or multi-grain tortillas.
Add some spice
Stoke the flavor fire with a bit of extra heat - add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the dip.
Chocolate lovers, unite!
Top the finished dip with a generous sprinkle of mini chocolate chips.
Add some nuts
Indulge your nutty side by incorporating crushed pecans or walnuts into the dip for added crunch and flavor. Toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas) would also be a fun addition!
Use it as a spread
Transform your dip into a sweet sandwich spread. Just spread between slices of cinnamon bread for the ultimate fall sandwich.
