The heart of the flavor in your Cinnamon Apple Bagel Chip Dippers lies in the cinnamon sugar mixture. To achieve the right consistency and flavor balance, you'll want to start with a classic ratio of 1 part cinnamon to 4 parts sugar. For instance, if you're using 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, mix it with 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar. This blend ensures that the warm, spicy notes of the cinnamon shine through without overpowering the sweetness.

Ingredients
  

2 plain bagels (preferably day-old for better crispiness)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 crisp apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and thinly sliced

1/4 cup granulated sugar (for extra sweetness on the apples)

1/4 cup caramel sauce (for a delightful dipping experience)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Bagels: Using a serrated knife, slice each bagel into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Evenly space the bagel rounds on the lined baking sheet.

      Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until the mixture is well combined and free of lumps.

        Coat the Bagel Chips: Brush each bagel round generously with the melted butter on both sides. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the bagel slices, ensuring each slice is well-coated for maximum flavor.

          Bake the Bagel Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to flip the bagel slices halfway through the baking time for even crispiness. Keep an eye on them as they bake; you want them golden brown and crisp but not burnt.

            Prepare the Apples: While the bagel chips are baking, thinly slice your apples. If desired, lightly sprinkle the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance their flavor.

              Serve: Once the bagel chips have cooled to room temperature, artfully arrange them on a serving platter alongside the sliced apples. For an added touch of sweetness, sprinkle the granulated sugar over the apple slices.

                Dipping Sauce: Pour the caramel sauce into a small bowl for an irresistible dipping option. Serve it on the side with the bagel chips and apple slices for a delicious combination of flavors.
