Tips & Variations

- Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the cream cheese dip for added flavor.
- If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese with a plant-based alternative.
Storage
Store any leftover pie crust chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crispness. Keep the cinnamon dip refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 3 days. Reheat the chips briefly in the oven for a few minutes to restore crunch before serving.

Ingredients
Pie Crust Chips
- 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (1 tablespoon sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon)
Cinnamon Dip
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the pie crust chips.

- Make Cinnamon Dip: While the chips bake, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add milk a little at a time if you prefer a thinner consistency for dipping.
- Serve: Once the chips are cooled slightly, serve them alongside the cinnamon cream cheese dip for dipping. Enjoy this sweet and crunchy snack warm or at room temperature.
