Apple Berry Salsa with Cinnamon Chips is always a party hit! We cut down on the refined sugar and make own low-carb flour tortilla chips in this recipe...and nobody could tell the difference!
You may have enjoyed this fresh and fruity appetizer at a Pampered Chef or Tupperware party. It's very popular for Mother's Day too!
Or maybe you just finished our apple nachos! Either way, you're hooked on fruity dessert recipes. We get it!
In this version, blueberries, apples, strawberries, and kiwi fruit are lightly glazed with a jam and stevia glaze and served on homemade cinnamon tortilla chips.
It's worth the effort to make at home because you can make this recipe lower in carbs if you want to:
- You control how much sugar is used. Replace all or some of the sugar with stevia or your sweetener of choice.
- Use high fiber tortillas to make the chips!
No matter what choices you make, this recipe is a crowd-pleaser.
Fruit Salsa Step-by-Step
The key to making this mixture salsa-like is cutting the fruit into very small pieces and making it saucy!
Use nice, crisp apples to extend the life of the salsa. We're big fans of Ambrosia apples because they don't brown easily.
Finely dice the strawberries too.
Next, prepare the kiwi.
Here's a neat trick for easily peeling this delectable little tropical fruit.
Cut each end off the kiwi fruit. Slip a spoon between the skin of the kiwi and the flesh and slide it all around the edge.
I did this very gingerly. But, it was very easy to do.
Like magic, the peeled kiwi fruit will drop from the skin. Dice it in small pieces too.
Stir all the diced fruit together in a big bowl and fold in the blueberries.
To make the glaze, combine equal amounts of jam and stevia baking blend. I used Smucker's Strawberry Simply Fruit and a Stevia Blend. Or, make your own sugar-free version like this Sugar Free Chia Jam by Ditch the Carbs.
The apple berry salsa will become juicier over time, so start with a smallish amount of sauce.
Types of Fruit to Use in Salsa
Make your favorite blend using seasonal fruits (link to our free printable guide.) The following fruits are easily diced into small pieces:
- Apples
- Strawberries
- Kiwi
- Blueberries
- Pineapple
- Grapes (cut into fourths)
- Raspberries
- Cherries (remove pits and can be messy)
- Mango
- Melons
Homemade Cinnamon Chips from Tortillas
Berry salsa with cinnamon chips is a perfect pairing. There's no need to buy a bag when they are so easy to make!
Use low net carb flour tortillas and a sugar alternative too for a low-carb version.
To make the chips, brush or spray flour tortillas with melted butter. We use a vegan substitute to keep the chips dairy-free.
Combine ¼ cup of a bakeable stevia blend with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture over the tortillas.
Next, cut the tortillas into wedges (a pizza cutter makes quick work of this task.) Bake them in a 375°F oven until crisp, about 8 - 9 minutes.
Fruit salsa and cinnamon chips. Absolutely yummy!

Made this for a baby shower with pineapple instead of kiwi! Went very quickly because everyone knew that I was careful with the sugar and used whole wheat flour tortillas. Sorry there were no leftovers for later.
