Ingredients

• 4 pieces pita bread
• 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for pita)
• 3 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (for apples)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for apples)
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0 whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice each piece of pita bread into triangles (6-8 triangles per pita).

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together.

Step 4

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush it lightly over both sides of the pita triangles.

Step 5

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over both sides of the pita triangles.

Step 6

Arrange the pita triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside to cool.

Step 7

While the pita is baking, peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.

Step 8

In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Step 9

Add the apple slices to the skillet and cook them for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

Step 10

Sprinkle the brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon over the apples, stirring to coat them evenly.

Step 11

Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice, then continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the apples are tender and caramelized.

Step 12

To serve, arrange the sugared pita triangles on a plate and spoon the warm fried apples over them.

Step 13

Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired, and enjoy immediately.
