Here’s a fun recipe to make with kids. Use your favorite fruit and whole grain tortillas and enjoy! This recipe from the Kansas State University Cooperative Extension via USDA’s MyPlate  makes four servings.

Pocket Fruit Pies

Ingredients:

• 4 flour tortillas (8 inch)
• 2 peaches, pears or apples (medium)
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
• 6 teaspoons brown sugar, packed
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (ground)
• 2 tablespoons milk (fat-free)
• sugar (optional)

Directions:

1. Warm tortillas in microwave or oven to make them easier to handle.
2. Peel and chop fruit into pieces.
3. Place 1/4 of the fruit on half of each tortilla.
4. In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkle over fruit.
5. Roll up the tortillas, starting at the end with the fruit.
6. Place on a greased baking sheet and make small slashes to allow steam to escape. Brush with milk and sprinkle with additional sugar, if desired.
7. Back at 350 degree in oven for 8-12 minutes or until lightly brown.
8. Serve warm or cool.

Notes:

This easy snack helps work fruit into a daily diet. Tortillas, with a variety of toppings, make great snack builders.

Safety Tip: Allow pie to cool slightly before tasting – the steam and sugar can burn.
