Ingredients
  

2 plain bagels

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 large apple (preferably a tart variety like Granny Smith)

1/2 cup caramel sauce (for dipping)

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts) for an extra crunch

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure it's hot enough to crisp your bagel chips.

    Prepare the Bagels: Take each bagel and slice it into thin wedges, aiming for about 1/2 inch thick. This thickness is ideal for achieving a crunchy texture.

      Make the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir well until fully mixed to create your flavorful cinnamon sugar blend.

        Coat the Bagel Chips: Arrange the bagel wedges on a baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat both sides of each wedge with the melted butter. Next, generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over both sides of the bagel wedges, ensuring an even coating to maximize flavor.

          Bake the Bagel Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake the bagel chips for approximately 10-15 minutes. Keep a close watch on them, as you'll want them to be golden brown and crispy but not burnt—oven times may vary.

            Prepare the Apples: While your bagel chips are baking, it's time to prepare the apple. Wash it thoroughly, core it, and slice it into thin wedges or sticks based on your preference, ideal for dipping.

              Serve & Dip: Once the bagel chips are finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve the warm bagel chips alongside the fresh apple slices. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top for dipping, and if you choose, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the caramel for an added crunch and texture.

                  - Presentation Tips: Arrange the bagel chips in a circular pattern on a serving platter, with the apple slices arranged neatly in the center. Drizzle caramel sauce artistically over the chips and apples for an inviting look!
