Cheddar chips in a dessert crumble?! This is just one of many bizarre but addictive creations from Chicago-based chef Stephanie Izard, who has teamed up with Lay's Wavy to find the most intriguing ways to add chips to recipes. While we'll have to wait until June 8 for the complete list of recipes, we can make this amazing chippy crumble now. The buttery, crunchy morsels almost taste like apple pie, and the cheddar cheese offers an unexpected savory note to the mix. Stephanie likes munching on the crumble solo or adding it to ice cream or even a morning bowl of yogurt. We can't wait to try it in an actual apple crumble this Fall . . .
