Looking for a fun, delicious way to enjoy some fresh fruit? This fruit salsa with homemade cinnamon chips is perfect for snacking, parties, or just treating yourself. It’s a simple recipe that is full of ripe fruit – but the best part are the cinnamon chips!
I’ve been enjoying this fruit salsa with cinnamon chips lately and thought you might like to try it too. It’s a simple, fresh mix of apples, mango, strawberries, and kiwi, with a hint of apricot preserves that ties everything together.
The cinnamon chips are, in my opinion, a crucial part of this delicious snack because the cinnamon adds a nice warm touch to the bright fruit. I’ve tried it with regular chips and it’s just not the same.
HOW TO MAKE FRUIT SALSA:
- Dice all the fruit into very small dices (I used apple, strawberries, mango, kiwi and raspberries) and sprinkle with a little sugar. The sugar will release the juices from the fruit and help soften them and also create more liquid.
- Add the fruit preserves to the fruit and refrigerate until ready to serve.
HOW TO MAKE THE CINNAMON CHIPS:
- Brush melted butter onto both sides of a large tortilla.
- Sprinkle it with sugar mixture on both sides.
- Cut the tortilla into triangles using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake for 3-4 minutes, flip chips and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. (You can also use an air fryer to this as well.)
