Ingredients
- Fruit Salsa:
- 2 kiwis, peeled and diced
- 2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 8 ounces raspberries
- 1 (16-ounce) carton strawberries, diced
- 2 tablespoons white sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 3 tablespoons fruit preserves, any flavor (strawberry recommended)
- Cinnamon Chips:
- 10 (10-inch) flour tortillas (or Stacy’s cinnamon chips or cinnamon graham crackers)
- Melted butter or butter-flavored cooking spray
- Cinnamon Sugar:
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit Salsa:
- In a large bowl, combine the diced kiwis, apples, raspberries, strawberries, white sugar, brown sugar, and fruit preserves. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together. Note: This salsa is best enjoyed on the same day it is made to prevent the apples from browning and the fruit mixture from becoming too runny.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Chips:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Coat one side of each flour tortilla with melted butter or butter-flavored cooking spray. Sprinkle the tortillas with the desired amount of cinnamon sugar.
- Cut the tortillas into wedges and arrange them in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Spray them again with cooking spray if you used melted butter initially.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the chips are crisp and golden.
- Allow the chips to cool for approximately 15 minutes before serving.
- Serve:
- Serve the chilled fruit salsa with the cinnamon chips on the side. This dish can also be paired with cinnamon graham crackers or cinnamon pita chips for a different texture.
Tips
- Fruit Selection: Feel free to experiment with different fruits based on what’s in season or your personal preferences. Mangos, blueberries, or peaches would also be great additions.
- Cinnamon Chips: If you’re short on time, store-bought cinnamon chips or graham crackers can be a quick and convenient alternative.
- Presentation: For an appealing presentation, use a clear glass bowl to showcase the colorful fruit salsa.
- Freshness: To maintain freshness, prepare the salsa shortly before serving. The fruit mixture tends to become watery if it sits for too long.
This Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Chips is a delightful treat that’s easy to make and sure to impress your guests with its fresh flavors and beautiful presentation. Enjoy!
