Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat pita breads

3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 medium apple, finely diced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon maple syrup (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Pita Bread: Take each pita bread and carefully cut it into wedges, making about 8 equal-sized pieces per pita.

      Mix the Coating: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, packed brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if you decide to use it), and sea salt. Whisk the ingredients together until thoroughly blended and smooth.

        Coat the Pita Wedges: Place the cut pita wedges into a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture over the wedges and toss them gently but thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated with the mixture.

          Add the Apples: In a small bowl, toss the finely diced apples with lemon juice to prevent them from browning. Carefully fold the apple mixture into the coated pita wedges, ensuring the apples are distributed evenly throughout.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Transfer the coated pita wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the wedges to allow for optimal crispiness as they bake.

              Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching closely until the pita chips turn crispy and a lovely golden brown. Halfway through baking, give the wedges a gentle toss to help them brown evenly.

                Drizzle with Maple Syrup: Once they are done baking, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool for about a minute. Just before serving, drizzle the warm pita chips with maple syrup for a delightful touch of natural sweetness.

                  Serve: Enjoy your homemade Apple Cinnamon Delight Pita Chips either warm or at room temperature. They make a fantastic snack or a sweet dessert option that's sure to impress!
