1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Chop the Apples Evenly: Consistent-sized apple pieces will ensure even cooking and better flavor distribution.
  • Don't Overcook the Apples: The apples should retain some texture and not become mushy. Cook them until they are tender but still slightly firm.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh salsa always tastes better, so use the freshest ingredients you can find.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: If you prefer a milder salsa, reduce the amount of chipotle powder or use a milder variety. You can also add a touch of honey or agave nectar to balance the heat.

Conclusion:

Apple chipotle salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in various ways. It's perfect for dipping chips, topping tacos, burritos, and enchiladas, or as a flavorful addition to grilled meats and fish.
