Ingredients
  

For the Pie Crust Chips
  • 1 refrigerated pie crust (from a 14.1-ounce box) or homemade pie dough
  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Strawberry Salsa
  • 1 1/2 cups diced fresh strawberries about 8 ounces, hulled and finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or to taste
  • 1/2 zest of 1 lime preferably Meyer lemon if available
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh orange juice preferably from a navel orange

Method
 

Make the Pie Crust Chips
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Unroll or roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Brush the crust evenly with the melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
  3. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the crust into strips about 1 inch wide, then cut crosswise to form 1-inch rectangles. Cut each rectangle diagonally to create triangles. Arrange the triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until golden and crisp. Let cool completely on the sheet; chips will continue to crisp as they cool.
  4. The chips can be made up to 3 days ahead. Store in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature.
Make the Strawberry Salsa
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the diced strawberries, sugar, lime zest, lime juice, and orange juice. Toss gently to coat. Taste and add more sugar if desired.
  2. Serve immediately with the pie crust chips. The salsa is best the day it is made; if storing overnight, drain any excess liquid before serving.

Notes

Substitute store-bought pie crust with homemade for a flakier chip. For a deeper flavor, use California-grown Meyer lemons instead of lime. If you prefer a less sweet salsa, start with 2 teaspoons of sugar and adjust. To make ahead, prep the salsa ingredients separately and combine just before serving. For a savory twist, add a pinch of chili powder or a few drops of hot sauce. Store leftover chips in an airtight container for up to 3 days; refresh in a 300°F oven for 3 minutes if they soften.
