Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 whole wheat pita breads
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 1 large apple, sliced
- Cinnamon for sprinkling
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 whole wheat pita breads, 1/2 cup of hummus, 1 large apple, and cinnamon for sprinkling.
- Wash the apple thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the apple into thin wedges or rounds, discarding the core and seeds. Aim for uniform thickness for even distribution on the pita.
- Take the whole wheat pita breads and place them on a clean cutting board or plate.
- Using a spoon or a spatula, spread 1/4 cup of hummus evenly over the surface of each pita bread, ensuring to cover the entire surface for maximum flavor.
- Once the hummus is spread, arrange the sliced apple pieces on top of the hummus, distributing them evenly across both pita breads.
- After placing the apple slices, lightly sprinkle cinnamon over the top of the apples to enhance the flavor. Adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your taste preference.
- Your Apple and Hummus Pita Bread is now ready to serve. Cut each pita into quarters or halves if desired, and enjoy as a healthy snack or light meal.
Tips
- Choose the Right Ingredients: Select a crisp, sweet apple like Honeycrisp or Gala for the best flavor and texture. Use freshly ground cinnamon for a more intense aroma.
- Hummus Hack: For extra creaminess, slightly warm the hummus before spreading to make it easier to distribute evenly.
- Slice Smartly: Cut apple slices thin and uniform to ensure even coverage and a balanced bite in every piece.
- Cinnamon Control: Start with a light sprinkle of cinnamon and adjust to taste. Remember, you can always add more, but you can't take it away!
- Serving Suggestion: For added nutrition, consider toasting the pita bread lightly before adding hummus for a slight crunch.
- Make It Your Own: Experiment with different hummus flavors like roasted red pepper or garlic to create your unique variation.
