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 (Granny Smith recommended), cored and thinly sliced

Optional: 1 tablespoon honey for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot when you're ready to bake.

    Prepare the Pita: Take each pita bread and slice it into 8 wedges, similar to cutting a pizza. These will become your crunchy chips.

      Make the Coating Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture has a smooth, slightly thick consistency.

        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. Each piece should be well covered for maximum flavor.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the coated pita wedges in a single layer. Ensure they are spread out and not overlapping to guarantee even baking and crispiness.

            Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remember to flip the pita chips halfway through the baking time to ensure they brown evenly. Keep a close watch on them to avoid any burning.

              Add the Apple Slices: In the final 2-3 minutes of baking, sprinkle the thin apple slices over the chips. This will warm the apples and gently caramelize their natural sugars.

                Optional Honey Drizzle: If you crave a little extra sweetness, remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the baked chips with honey before serving.

                  Cool and Serve: Let the apple cinnamon pita chips cool for a few minutes before enjoying. They're delicious on their own or served alongside yogurt or your favorite dip!
