Apple Salsa

This apple salsa is perfect for fall or any time of year. It is sweet, tart, fruity, light, and refreshing. Served with crunchy cinnamon sugar pita chips, it is a delectable appetizer. You will want to come back for more!

Do you know what I think the world could use right now? Another apple recipe!! I hope you agree because I have a simple but super tasty one for you today.   

This is one of my favorite salsa recipes. I’m not sure if it should be called apple dip or salsa. Either way, I call it delicious! I have made many batches over the years. No matter the season or the occasion, it is always a hit. People are consistently surprised at how much they enjoy this fruity concoction.

At first glance, this salsa looks unassuming—just a bowl of finely chopped apples with some specks of color throughout. But when you scoop it onto cinnamon pita chips and pop it into your mouth, it becomes a refreshing flavor blast. It’s apple-ie, fruity, sweet, tart, cinnamony, light, refreshing, and crunchy. Once you start, it is hard to stop.

I like to serve this salsa with Stacy’s cinnamon sugar pita chips. (I am not compensated to promote this brand. I just love it.) The cinnamon sugar to pita chip ratio is spot on. If you want to make your own, feel free, but Stacy’s has my solid stamp of approval!!

Since it’s the tail end of apple picking season, apples are abundant in many homes. This is the perfect salsa to incorporate into your entertaining repertoire. It is an ideal alternative to the cheese-laden dips and appetizers (although there’s nothing wrong with them!) if you are looking for a dairy-free or lighter snacking option. 

You know what else? These make great little gifts for neighbors, friends, and coworkers! They are perfect for saying “thank you” or “thinking of you” or whatever the occasion.

For a cute presentation, all you need to do is place the Apple Salsa in a small clear mason jar with a decorative lid. Then, put the pita chips in clear party bags with a decorative bow, and there you go! The recipient is going to love it! (Keep this idea in mind for the upcoming Christmas holiday season! It’s really not too soon.)

An old, dear friend introduced me to this salsa many years ago after she had tried it. Rather than changing it, I use the original recipe with minor adjustments to the tartness and sweetness level to suit my taste.

Anyhoo, I would like to give proper credit to the original creator of this recipe. However, I have not been successful at finding the creator. When I do, or when one comes forward with valid proof, I will thank them for a superb salsa recipe and give them proper credit. Until then, this recipe will be credited to Unknown.

Have a wonderful week!!

(Affiliate links. The products I recommend are either what I use, are on my wish list, or come highly rated.)

• If you can’t find apple jelly, it is available online. It’s a seasonal item that I shop for, so I stock up when I see it.
• Hand chop or use a small food processor to chop the ingredients quickly.
• Silicone spatulas for mixing and scraping. These are irrelevant to this recipe, but I love that they are heat-resistant up to 600° F.
