Cinnamon Chips and Fruit Salsa

Posted by alannak on Apr 11 2008 | Dessert

For a party to kick-off our final Spring Fling weekend at Penn, we baked homemade cinnamon chips and created an accompanying fruit salsa. Given the reviews for the recipe, we expected it to be good, but I don’t think anyone anticipated how unbelievably delicious this snack would be — it is absolutely our new all-time favorite party food. My love for this dish reminds me of Green Eggs and Ham: It would eat it in a car, I would eat it at a bar. I would eat it by the pool, I would eat it after school. I would eat it on my way, I would eat it every day.

I’ve always loved cinnamon pita chips, and I became completely hooked on these with my first bite. I couldn’t stop eating them, and I wasn’t the only one. They had a perfect crunch, and tasted amazing with and without the fruit salsa. I loved them as a late-night snack, but I don’t think there’s a time of day when these wouldn’t be appropriate. I can’t say enough wonderful things about these, so just make them and you’ll see what we mean.

We found the recipe here on All Recipes, and we substituted the variety of apple, as well as blackberries for raspberries due to high costs. We used strawberry preserves, which turned out great. I’m posting our slightly modified version below. They are so good.

Ingredients:
2 kiwis, peeled and diced
2 Fuji apples, peeled, cored and diced
8 oz. blackberries
1 lb. strawberries
2 tbsp white sugar
1 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp strawberry preserves (or other fruit flavor)

10 (10 inch) flour tortillas
butter flavored cooking spray
2 cups cinnamon sugar

Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix kiwis, apples, blackberries, strawberries, sugars and preserves. Cover refrigerate at least 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat one side of each tortilla with cooking spray. Cut into wedges and arrange on a large baking sheet. Coat wedges with desired amount of cinnamon sugar. Spray again with cooking spray. Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with any remaining tortilla wedges. Allow to cool approximately 15 minutes. Serve with chilled fruit mixture.

    Shhhhhhh!!! This recipe is my super secret specialty- I’m known for it! But really, so incredibly easy and perfect for brunches, showers, okay everytime. Looooooove this recipe and I’ve tried it with tons of different berries mixed in, but have to say I always make sure to put in the apple for the crunch it adds!

    I made this for a potluck last night and it was a big hit! Very delicious. I would suggest making an explanatory announcement at the beginning of the night because a couple of uninformed guests tried to use the chips in avocado dip and got mad at me for tricking them.
