Apple nachos with peanut butter sauce

A typical Southern recipe which is a healthy snack for kids.

Ingredients

1 apple (diced or sliced)
1 banana (peeled, halved and sliced)
2 bread (pita bread, whole)
1⁄4 c butter (melted, about 1/2 stick)
3 T sugar
1 T cinnamon
1⁄2 c peanut butter (creamy)
1⁄4 c milk (whole milk)
1 T honey
2 apple (peeled or not, sliced)

Instructions

Cut the pitas in half so you have two half circles, then cut in half again, creating 4 triangle shapes from each. Separate and pull bread apart at the edge where it's still attached. 

Brush pita chips with butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

Bake at 400º F for 5 - 7 minutes. 

While baking, prepare sauce by melting together peanut butter, honey and milk in a small saucepan. 

Serve pita chips drizzled with sauce and add sliced apples to the plate for a fun lunch or after school snack.
