Apple Pie Stuffed Pitas
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 17 minutes
Servings: 4
Filling:
4 green apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons plant-based butter
1/3 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Oat Crumble Topping:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons plant-based butter
4 Toufayan Multi-Grain Pita Bread
Preheat oven to 350 F.
To make the filling: In a large saute pan over medium heat add apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter, white sugar, water, and cornstarch. Cook apples down for about 10 minutes until they begin to get gooey.
To make oat crumble topping: In a medium bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, orange juice, and salt. Cut in butter and mix until crumbs begin to form.
Cut pitas in half and line the baking sheet. Fill one pita half with apple filling and lay on its side, being careful to not let apples fall out. Top with the oat crumble. Repeat with remaining pitas.
Bake for about 6 minutes. If desired, broil 1 minute for additional color.
