Pioneer Woman Cinnamon Crisps Recipe Ingredients
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) Butter, Melted
- 3 whole Flour Tortillas (small size)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 Tbsp. Ground Cinnamon
How To Make Pioneer Woman Cinnamon Crisps
- Prep the oven and cinnamon sugar: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and the ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Coat the tortillas: Place the flour tortillas on a baking sheet. Brush one side of each tortilla generously with melted butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered side.
- Coat the second side: Flip the tortillas over. Brush the other side with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle generously with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake until crisp: Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the tortillas are very crisp and the sugar is bubbly.
- Cool and serve: Remove the crisps from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become even crispier as they cool. Once cooled, break them into pieces and serve.
Recipe Tips
- How do I get the crispiest results? The key is to bake them long enough. They should be firm and slightly browned when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to crisp up significantly as they cool down.
- Can I use different types of tortillas? Yes! While small flour tortillas work great, you can also use whole wheat tortillas for a slightly nuttier flavor or even low-carb tortillas.
- How much cinnamon sugar should I use? Be generous! A thick, even coating is what creates that delicious, crunchy, caramelized topping.
- Can I make these in an air fryer? Absolutely. Brush and coat the tortillas as directed. Place one tortilla at a time in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F for 4-6 minutes, until golden and crisp. Watch it closely as it will cook much faster than in the oven.
What To Serve With Cinnamon Crisps
These sweet crisps are a fantastic snack on their own, but they are also delicious served in other ways.
- As “chips” for a sweet dip, like fruit salsa, cream cheese dip, or yogurt dip.
- Crumbled over a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream.
- Alongside a hot cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.
- As a crunchy topping for a bowl of applesauce.
How To Store Cinnamon Crisps
Room Temperature: Store the completely cooled crisps in an airtight container or a zip-top bag at room temperature. They will stay crispy for up to 5 days. If they lose some of their crispness, you can refresh them in a 350°F oven for a few minutes.

FAQs
Why are my crisps chewy instead of crispy?
This is usually a sign that they were not baked long enough. They need the full 15-17 minutes to allow the moisture to bake out of the tortillas. Also, be sure to let them cool completely on the pan, as this is when they achieve their final crisp texture.
Can I use a different spice?
Yes! You could add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar mixture for a more complex flavor, or use an apple pie spice blend for a different twist.
Can I cut the tortillas before baking?
Yes, for a neater presentation, you can use a pizza cutter to slice the coated tortillas into wedges before baking. Just be sure to separate them slightly on the baking sheet so they crisp up evenly.
