Recipe submitted by DaVita dietitian Brenda from Washington.

Portions: 2

Serving size: one tortilla with 1cup fruit mixture

Ingredients

• two 6” to 7” flour tortillas
• butter-flavor or regular nonstick cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 2 apples or pears, peeled, cored and sliced
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• one 5-1/2-ounce can apple juice
• 1 tablespoon dried currants
• sifted powdered sugar (optional)

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
2. Place tortillas on a baking sheet and lightly coat tortillas with nonstick cooking spray.
3. In a small bowl, stir together granulated sugar and 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Sprinkle over tortillas. Bake for about 10 minutes or until crisp.
4. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Helpful Hints

• If you have diabetes, reduce portion to 1/2 tortilla with 1/2 cup of the fruit mixture. A whole portion contains too much carbohydrate, and may cause blood glucose to increase too much.
• If sugar substitute is used instead of sugar, fruit will not caramelize as much and consistency may be runny.
