It’s spring time and that means fruit is back in season! We love fruit in our house and like to make up batches of fruit salsa to have on hand as a tasty snack. It’s a simple snack to make and pairs really well with cinnamon sugar chips (or even eating just plain!)
Ingredients Needed
- Kiwi
- Mango
- Strawberries
- Granny Smith Apple
- Brown sugar
- Cinnamon
- Strawberry jelly
How to Make Fruit Salad and Baked Cinnamon Chips
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut the tortillas into chip shapes (I got about 12 chips from each tortilla)
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon sugar
- Place the tortillas on the baking sheet and brush each chip with a little water. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the chips.
- Bake chips for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown
- While the chips are baking, in a medium bowl combine the mango, kiwi, strawberries and apple. Once combined, mix in the sugar, cinnamon and melted jelly (I melted the jelly in a small bowl in the microwave for about 30 second, stirring half way through).
- Once mixed, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes so the flavors can mix.

Recipe Tips
- Fruit salsa is best served the same day it’s made (the fruit browns quickly once cut up so it doesn’t look as appetizing). If you’re making this for a party I recommend making it a few hours before you plan on serving.
- The homemade cinnamon chips can be swapped out with a store bought chip like Stacy’s cinnamon sugar pita chips. Graham crackers would also be a delicious option!
- Cinnamon chips could be made in an airfryer. If using an airfryer, cook on 400 for about 7 minutes (time will vary depending on your airfryer).
Recommended Equipment
Fruit Substitutions
Fruit salsa is a versatile recipe and can be made with a variety of different fruit. A few of my favorites to mix in:
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Pineapple
- Grapes (cut into smaller pieces)
- Different types of apples like honey crisp or fuji
Storing Fruit Salsa and Baked Cinnamon Chips
Fruit salsa: store the fruit salsa in an airtight container in the fridge. Fruit salsa will last about
Cinnamon Chips: Store the chips in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days.
How to cut tortillas for cinnamon chips
I like my chips to be longer so there’s enough room to dip but the length and size of the chips are up to you! I do not recommend making them too small so you can easily brush water on them before baking.
