Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking pans with parchment paper.

Cube butter and refrigerate until ready to add to the dough.

Combine flour, salt, and shortening in a stand mixer on low speed until evenly mixed.

Add cold butter cubes to the mixture and mix slowly until crumbly.

Slowly add cold water until the dough comes together without being dry.

Divide dough into two, roll out each on floured surface, and refrigerate one while working on the other.

Cut rolled dough into triangles and place on parchment-lined baking sheet.

Brush triangles with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar, and bake for 5 minutes.

Flip chips, brush with more melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar, and bake for another 5 minutes.

While chips are baking, prepare apples by dicing and tossing with lemon juice.

Cook apples in melted butter until soft, about 5-10 minutes, until sauce thickens.

Layer baked chips on a serving platter, top with warm apple mixture, and garnish with whipped cream and caramel sauce.
