Cinnamony sweet chips paired with seasonal fruit. It tastes similar to a fresh fruit pie! So good, and it disappears quickly!

Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Chips

Ingredients

  • For the Cinnamon Chips:
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ stick butter, melted
  • 3 soft taco sized flour tortillas
  • For the Fruit Salsa:
  • 2 small granny smith apples
  • 1 16 oz. package strawberries
  • 1 6 oz. package raspberries
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine cinnamon and sugar.
  3. Using a pastry brush, brush the melted butter onto flour tortillas, evenly coating entire surface.
  4. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar mixture on the tortillas.
  5. Using a pizza cutter, slice the tortillas into 8 pieces.
  6. Bake the cinnamon chips for about 11-14 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden brown. They need to be crisp around the edges or they will be chewy and not crisp like a chip.
  7. Peel the apples and dice them into ½ inch pieces.
  8. Cut the strawberries into ½ inch pieces.
  9. Place the fruit in a medium sized bowl and add the raspberries.
  10. Add lemon juice, both kinds of sugar, and chopped mint.
  11. Stir together being careful not to break up the raspberries.
  12. Place the fruit salsa in a bowl garnished with mint leaves and surrounded by the warm cinnamon chips.

*The fruit used in this recipe is really just a salsa base. Add whatever fruit is in season or whatever fruit your family enjoys. I have also added fresh peaches, blueberries, watermelon, kiwi, green grapes, just to name a few! To make this salsa extra fun for kids, I occasionally use tiny cookie cutter for the fruit. Fun for the holidays!
