Pocket Fruit Pies
Peaches, pears, and apples are all fat, sodium and cholesterol free. Combined with a low or no-fat tortilla, a touch of sweetening and you've got a satisfying, healthy, budget-friendly dessert!
Ingredients:
4 (8 inch) flour tortillas
2 medium peaches, pears, or apples
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons milk
sugar (optional)
Directions:
- Warm tortillas in microwave or oven to make them easier to handle.
- Peel and chop fruit into pieces.
- Place 1/4 of the fruit on half of each tortilla.
- In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkle over fruit.
- Roll up the tortillas, starting at the end with the fruit.
- Place on an un-greased baking sheet and make small slashes to allow steam to escape. Brush with milk and sprinkle with additional sugar, if desired.
- Back at 350 degree in oven for 8-12 minutes or until lightly brown. Serve warm or cool.
Note: This easy snack helps work fruit into a daily diet. Tortillas, with a variety of toppings, make great snack builders.
Safety Tip: Allow pie to cool slightly before tasting - the steam and sugar can burn.
