  2. In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar.

  4. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until apples are tender but still hold their shape.
  7. Remove from heat.
  8. Arrange 4 tortilla 'chips' on a plate.
  9. Top with 2 tablespoons of the warm apple mixture, a dollop of whipped cream (approximately 2 tablespoons), and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of chopped pecans.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
