Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm apples for the salsa. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that complements the chipotle peppers.
  • To roast the apples, cut them into 1-inch cubes and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the apples in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • If you don't have chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground chipotle pepper instead. Be sure to adjust the amount of salt and pepper in the salsa to taste.
  • The salsa can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It is also freezer-friendly; freeze it in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
  • Serve the salsa with tortilla chips, grilled chicken or fish, tacos, or burritos. It is also a great topping for salads or sandwiches.

Apple chipotle salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild, medium, or hot, this salsa is sure to please everyone at your next party or gathering.
