Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust Chips

  • 1 batch unbaked store-bought or homemade pie crust dough
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk or cream
  • ⅓ cup cinnamon sugar (made by mixing 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon with ½ cup granulated sugar)

Cinnamon Dip

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the pie crust chips to a perfect crisp.
  2. Prepare Dough: On a floured surface or over parchment paper, roll out the pie crust dough to about ⅛ to ¼-inch thickness. This thinness ensures the chips will bake up crispy.
  3. Cut Shapes: Using a leaf-shaped cookie cutter dipped in flour to prevent sticking, cut out leaf shapes from the dough.
  4. Add Topping: Lightly brush each dough leaf with milk or cream to help the cinnamon sugar adhere, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over each piece.
  5. Bake Chips: Place the leaves atop a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges just start to brown, giving them a beautiful golden crisp.
  6. Prepare Dip: While the chips bake or cool, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon in a small bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy for a flavorful, spiced dip.
  7. Serve: Transfer the baked chips to a serving tray and serve alongside the cinnamon dip for a delightful pairing.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a leaf-shaped cutter, other small cookie cutters or a knife can be used to create different shapes.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese with a vegan cream cheese alternative and use plant-based milk.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness; the dip should be refrigerated and consumed within 3 days.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon in the cinnamon sugar and dip to suit your taste preferences.
  • These chips are best enjoyed fresh, as they may lose crispness over time.
