How to Make Sugared Pita With Fried Apples

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel, core, and thinly slice 2 medium apples. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Toss gently and set aside.
  3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
  4. Add the sliced apples to the skillet. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir to coat the apples evenly.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook the apples until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. While apples cook, prepare the pita breads: place them on a baking sheet.
  7. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the microwave. Brush the melted butter lightly over the top of each pita bread.
  8. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar evenly over the buttered pitas.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the sugar is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning!
  10. Remove from oven and immediately stuff each pita with the cooked apples.
  11. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts before serving.
