Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat pita breads

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons brown sugar (for enhanced flavor)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tart apple (like Granny Smith), cored and thinly sliced

Optional: 1 tablespoon honey for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it reaches the right temperature for optimal baking.

    Prepare the Pita: Slice each whole wheat pita bread into 8 even wedges, resembling pizza slices, to create the chips you’ll bake.

      Mix the Coating: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until the ingredients blend smoothly into a slightly thick liquid.

        Coat the Pita Wedges: Take the pita wedges and either brush them with the cinnamon mixture or toss them in the bowl until they are evenly coated, ensuring each piece is well covered.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the coated pita wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure the wedges do not overlap, allowing them to bake evenly and achieve maximum crispiness.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Flip the pita chips halfway through baking to ensure an even golden brown color. Keep a close watch to prevent over-baking or burning.

              Add Apple Slices: In the last 2-3 minutes of baking, carefully sprinkle the thin apple slices over the pita chips. This step will warm the apples and contribute to their slight caramelization for added flavor.

                Optional Drizzle: When the chips are done baking, take them out of the oven and if desired, drizzle with honey for an extra sweet touch before serving.

                  Cool and Serve: Allow the apple cinnamon pita chips to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Enjoy them warm as a delightful snack on their own, or pair them with yogurt or a dip for an even more delicious experience!
