PREPARATION:  Preheat oven according to pie crust package directions. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Stir together sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, set aside.

Gently unroll pie dough and brush with melted butter. Cut each crust into 8 wedges and cut each wedge into 4 triangles like chips. (See picture) Place triangles on baking sheets. Sprinkle chips with cinnamon-sugar mixture and bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes.

Dice all of the fruit and store in separate bowls until ready to serve. Just before serving, toss fruits and mint together in a serving bowl. Combine honey and lime juice by whisking in a small bowl; pour over fruit. Serve with chips.

HINTS: We doubled all of the ingredients for the fruit salsa and it served about 8 people. The chips are fragile so we used a small spoon to put the salsa on top rather than dipping them. See next week’s recipe for a way to use the other half of the fresh pineapple!
