Scale

Salsa Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 cup Water
  • 3 large Apples, peeled and chopped
  • 3 tbsp Cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the lemon juice and water, then add the peeled and chopped apples to the mixture.
  2. Cook Apples: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the apples become tender.
  3. Prepare Thickener: Remove about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid from the pan and pour it into a small bowl. Stir in the cornstarch until smooth.
  4. Thicken Salsa: Pour the cornstarch mixture back into the saucepan. Continue cooking on low heat while stirring constantly until the salsa thickens to your desired consistency.
  5. Serve: Serve the warm apple pie salsa with cinnamon sugar chips for dipping or use it as a sweet topping or side condiment.

Notes

  • The peeled apples can be substituted with unpeeled apples for added texture and fiber if preferred.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of ground ginger or nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
  • This salsa can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days and gently reheated before serving.
  • If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can mash the apples slightly during cooking or pulse the salsa lightly in a blender after cooling.
  • Perfect pairing includes cinnamon sugar chips, vanilla ice cream, or even as a topping on pancakes.
