4 (7 inch) flour tortillas
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 small orange
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple jelly

Directions

Preheat oven to 400*. For a cinnamon chips, lightly spray tortillas with water. Combine sugar and cinnamon in flour/sugar shaker; sprinkle over tortillas. Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges; place in single layer on round baking stone. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp. Remove to cooling rack; cool completely.
For salsa, place prepared fruit in a 1 quart bowl. Zest orange and juice. Add orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar and apple jelly to fruit mixture and mix gently. Serve with cinnamon chips.

Notes

I am all about ease of preparation, and actually used store bought Stacy’s Cinnamon and Sugar Pita Chips. This would also be good with graham crackers or graham cracker sticks.
