Cinnamon Toasted Fruit Pita Recipes

FRUIT SALSA WITH CINNAMON PITA CHIPS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the fruit and fruit preserves.
• Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl large enough that you can dredge the pita chips.
• For thinner pita chips split each pita round in half so that you have two pita circles.
• Spray each side of the chip with butter flavored cooking spray (I Can't Believe it's not Butter in the butter section of the grocery store is zero calories).
• Stack 4 pitas at a time and cut them into chip size with the pizza cutter or a sharp knife.
• Put chips in the bowl a few at a time and dredge them in the cinnamon sugar.
• Place chip on baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven 8 to 10 minutes.
• Allow to cool and serve with fruit salad.

CINNAMON-SUGAR PITA CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut each pita bread into 8 wedges and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top and place wedges on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crispy on the edges and slightly soft in the middle, 12 to 14 minutes; they will harden as they cool.
• Serve immediately or store in an airtight container after cooling.

CINNAMON PITA TOASTS

APPLE CINNAMON RAISIN PITAS (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• 1. Place ingredients except apples and raisins in bread machine in order that your machine specifies.
• 2. Set to "dough" setting and allow to complete cycle, adding the apples and raisins when your machine alerts you to add nuts/fruit. I actually have found that kneading these in by hand is actually easier, as they're a bit finicky to get worked through the dough.
• 3. Separate into 10 balls. Press each ball into a 4" round with your hands - you'll likely need to stuff some raisins and apples back in - it's worth it. Place on nonstick cookie sheets and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
• 4. Preheat oven to 500. Flip rounds, then place in oven for 5 minutes, flip again; turn oven down to 350 and bake for 15-20 minutes longer, until cooked through.
• 5. Remove from pan onto clean towel and cover while cooling.

CINNAMON TOASTED FRUIT PITA

Steps:

• Heat a cast iron griddle or any skillet over medium-low heat.
• If you don't already have a cinnamon & sugar mixture, then mix the two together in a small dish.
• Butter/oil both sides of the 4 pitas. Sprinkle each side with 1/4 tsp of the cinnamon mixture.
• Place all 4 pitas on pre-heated griddle/skillet. Cook until nicely browned, about 3-5 mins.
• Then flip to the other side and repeat.
• While pitas are browning/toasting, clean and slice all the fruits.
• Add to a bowl, mix until well combined.
• Let the pitas cool and then spread 1-2 tablespoons of the Greek yogurt inside the pita.
• Fill with fruit.
• Sprinkle the toasted almonds. Enjoy.
• TIP: If you need to toast your sliced almonds, put them on a small pan and put them in a pre-heated oven or toaster oven for about 4-5 minutes, until lightly browned.
