Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flour tortillas (whole wheat or low-calorie)
• 1 can Cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar or sugar substitute
• 2 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Fuji)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for apples)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 cup Low-fat whipped cream or yogurt (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the flour tortillas into triangles or wedge-shaped pieces to resemble nacho chips.

Step 3

Lightly spray the tortilla pieces with cooking spray on both sides and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar (or sugar substitute). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tortilla pieces.

Step 5

Bake the tortilla chips for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Step 6

While the chips bake, peel and dice the apples into small cubes.

Step 7

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced apples, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir well.

Step 8

Cook the apple mixture for 5-7 minutes until the apples are tender but not mushy, stirring occasionally. Add a tablespoon of water if more moisture is needed.

Step 9

Once the tortilla chips are cool and the apple topping is ready, arrange the chips on a serving platter or individual plates.

Step 10

Spoon the warm apple mixture evenly over the chips.

Step 11

Optional: Top with low-fat whipped cream or yogurt for added creaminess.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your Apple Pie Nachos Lite!
