Cinnamon Toasted Fruit Pita Recipes

BAKED CINNAMON TOAST WITH FRUIT

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter a shallow 2-qt. baking dish. Mix sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt in a small bowl. Toss fruit, vanilla, and 1/4 cup sugar mixture in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Spread 10 Tbsp. butter in a thin layer across each slice of bread, working butter all the way to the edges (you might have extra butter, depending on the size of your slices). Generously sprinkle remaining sugar mixture over buttered side of bread. Add any leftover sugar to reserved fruit. Fit about half of bread slices along bottom and up sides of prepared dish, placing sugared side down and overlapping slightly. Scatter reserved fruit over and top with remaining slices of bread, placing sugared side up and shingling to cover fruit. Place dish on a rimmed baking sheet and cover tightly with foil. Set a cast-iron skillet on top to weigh down; bake until juices are bubbling, 50-60 minutes.
• Carefully remove dish from oven; remove skillet and foil. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown, 10-15 minutes more. Let cool 20 minutes.
• Divide baked cinnamon toast among plates, top with a scoop of ice cream, and drizzle with maple syrup.
• Do Ahead

CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• Use a toaster to toast the bread to desired darkness. Spread butter or margarine onto one side of each slice. In a cup or small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle generously over hot buttered toast.

FRUITY CHICKEN SALAD PITAS

APPLE CINNAMON RAISIN PITAS (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• 1. Place ingredients except apples and raisins in bread machine in order that your machine specifies.
• 2. Set to "dough" setting and allow to complete cycle, adding the apples and raisins when your machine alerts you to add nuts/fruit. I actually have found that kneading these in by hand is actually easier, as they're a bit finicky to get worked through the dough.
• 3. Separate into 10 balls. Press each ball into a 4" round with your hands - you'll likely need to stuff some raisins and apples back in - it's worth it. Place on nonstick cookie sheets and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
• 4. Preheat oven to 500. Flip rounds, then place in oven for 5 minutes, flip again; turn oven down to 350 and bake for 15-20 minutes longer, until cooked through.
• 5. Remove from pan onto clean towel and cover while cooling.

CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cinnamon and salt.
• Melt some butter in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-low; you'll want enough to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet when melted. When bubbling, add as many bread slices as will fit. Swirl the bread around to absorb the butter, adding more butter if the pan is dry. Cook until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning.
• Add another pat of butter, flip the bread and swirl to coat the other side in butter, gently pressing the bread to pick up any browned bits. Sprinkle the toasted tops edge to edge with a thin layer of the cinnamon sugar. Cook until the underside is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more butter and adjusting temperature if the pan is dry or the toast is burning.
• Flip and cook until the sugar sizzles and starts to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a plate, sugar side up. (If any melted sugar sticks to the pan, gently swipe the bread over it to pick it up.) Sprinkle toasts with more cinnamon sugar. Wipe skillet and repeat with any remaining bread.
