Can you make it ahead of time?

This is a great make ahead dish, although if you are planning to make it ahead, I would recommend that you don’t add the apples in until just before serving as they will start to brown.

Although the cinnamon chips are at their crispiest right out of the oven, they will keep well in an air tight container for around 3 days at room temperature.

Can you use other fruits?

I love this combination of fruits, but you can easily add in others like blueberries, mango and oranges. If you add in fruits like bananas that brown quickly, don’t add them in til you are ready to serve.

Can you use tinned or frozen fruits?

Fresh is best for this fruit salsa. You can use tinned fruits, but be sure to drain them well of any syrup or water before using.

Frozen fruits are best avoided, but if you use them, thaw them fully and pat dry of any excess moisture or your salsa will be quite watery.

Tips!

  • Cut the fruits into small and even pieces so that they are easy to scoop.
  • Store the salsa covered in the fridge. It is best enjoyed within a couple of days.
  • Make this recipe vegan by swapping the honey for maple syrup.
