Fruit Salsa with Pie Crust Chips

Anyone who knows me, reads the blog, follows me on social media, meets me in a bookstore, grocery store, or even on the street…knows I love pie. It doesn’t matter what kind, what the season, with or without ice cream, in a bowl, on a plate, in a house, with a mouse…I love pie. It trumps everything.

Even recipes that are related to pie move to the top of the list. Like these Pie Crust Chips with Fruit Salsa. The pie crust chips are light and flaky, brushed with butter and sprinkled with a cinnamon-sugar mixture before they bake. A spoonful of the fruit salsa on top seals the deal.

This is such a great summertime dip to serve if you’re having a get-together, or just an afternoon snack if you’re hanging out by the pool or heading to the park. So bright, fresh, delicious, and fun!

Ingredients Needed

Here’s what you’ll need to make the fruit salsa and cinnamon chips.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)

• Fresh fruit – A combination of fresh fruit is finely diced. See notes below.
• Lime juice – For a bright citrus flavor.
• Honey – Adds a touch of sweetness and balances out the lime juice.
• Pie crust – I used my homemade pie crust recipe for the chips, but you can totally buy refrigerated rolled crusts if you’re in a pinch or lack motivation. I hear ya!
• Butter – Melted and brushed over the pie crust.
• Sugar and Cinnamon – These two are combined and sprinkled over the melted butter before the crust bakes.

What Fruit to use for the Fruit Salsa?

I use strawberries, pineapple, kiwi, and peaches because I love the flavor combination and the colors! Plus, they’re “sturdy” and won’t break down easily like raspberries or blackberries. But watermelon, mango, and nectarines would also be wonderful summer fruits. Frozen fruit is not recommended because once thawed, they tend to release too much liquid and make the pie chips soggy.

(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements, and don’t miss the video below.)

1. Make the pie crust chips. Brush the raw pie dough with melted butter, then combine the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the top. Cut into small triangle wedges. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets and bake until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
2. Prep the fruit. Dice all the fruit very small (like a relish) and place in a medium serving bowl.
3. Finish the salsa. Combine the honey and lime, then pour over the fruit; gently toss to coat.
4. Serve. Enjoy the fruit salsa with the pie chips and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

This salsa is summertime perfection when fresh fruit is in abundance. It’s great for a picnic, backyard BBQ, or poolside. We absolutely love it served with the pie crust chips, of course, but here are some other ideas:

• Use cinnamon graham crackers as dippers instead of making the pie crust chips.
• Add to yogurt parfaits.
• Serve with crepes.
• Top on a slice of angel food cake or ice cream.
• Enjoy with roasted pork tenderloin for a sweet and savory combo. Pork and fruit love one another.

Proper Storage

• How long does fruit salsa last? This fresh fruit salsa should be stored in an airtight container and kept in the refrigerator. It will keep up to 3 days. Beyond that, the juices from the fruit will begin to release and it will become mushy. At that point, you can add the mixture to smoothies!
• Can you freeze fruit salsa? Freezing this salsa is not ideal. Once thawed, the texture of the fruit is not that desirable.

Notes

Can I use different fruit? I use strawberries, pineapple, kiwi, and peaches because I love the flavor combination and the colors! Plus, they’re “sturdy” and won’t break down easily like raspberries or blackberries. But watermelon, mango, and nectarines would also be wonderful summer fruits. Frozen fruit is not recommended because once thawed, they tend to release too much liquid and make the pie chips soggy.

Graham crackers as dippers. If you don’t want to make the pie crust chips, graham crackers are great dippers, too.
