Cinnamon Sugar Pie Crust Chips + Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip

Gluten free vegan cinnamon sugar pie crust chips and pumpkin cheesecake dip. A sweet little duo!

With the holidays quickly approaching, our calendars are going to start filling up with parties and celebrations. I love it! It’s my favorite time of the year for so many reasons, but especially for the fun time with family and friends. It makes my heart so happy.

Whenever I make a pie, I always turn the leftover pie crust scraps into cinnamon sugar chips. Simply baking the pie crust with a sprinkling of cinnamon and sugar on top. During the holiday season, I seem to be making more pies so that means even more cinnamon sugar chips! My kids love and I seriously can’t stop eating them.

Today I’m sharing my easy-peasy recipe for pie crust chips, plus a dairy free pumpkin cheesecake dip. Dairy free cream cheese, blended with pumpkin puree, sugar and pumpkin pie spices. This is a great make ahead treat, perfect for bringing to a holiday party or get together. These cinnamon sugar pie crust chips with my gluten-free flour blend are also pretty tasty on their own. Dipped in coffee? Yep, that’s good too.
