How to Make Apple Salsa

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly spritz or brush one 6-inch flour tortilla with water.
  3. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
  4. Cut the tortilla into 8 wedges.
  5. Arrange tortilla wedges on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
  7. Meanwhile, coarsely chop 2 medium apples (about 2 cups).
  8. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped apples with 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  9. Gently toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  10. Serve the apple salsa immediately with the cinnamon sugar chips, or chill for later. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
