Preparation Time: 5 Minutes
Cooking Time: 15 Minutes
Standing Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
    Tortilla Bowls:
  • 4 6-inch (15 cm) whole wheat tortillas
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL0 ground cinnamon

    • Apple Topping:
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
  • 2-1/2 cups (625 mL) Ontario Apples peeled, quartered and sliced crosswise (1/4-inch/5 mm thick)
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch
  • 1 cup (250 mL) apple cider or juice
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each ground nutmeg and cinnamon
  • 2 cups (500 mL) frozen vanilla yogurt
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) toasted chopped pecans (optional)
Preparation:

Tortilla Bowls:
Lightly brush one side of each tortilla with water. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over moistened side of tortilla. To avoid air pockets, randomly pierce with fork. Place moistened side of each tortilla over inverted 4-inch (10 cm) bowl and lightly press around bowl. Microwave 2 tortillas on High for 2 minutes or until crisp. Remove from bowls and let cool on rack. (Tortilla bowls can be stored in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.)

Apple Topping:
In medium saucepan, melt butter; cook apple slices over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle with cornstarch. Stir in apple cider, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon; simmer until sauce comes just to boil, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool. (Topping can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat and serve.)

To serve, place each tortilla bowl on serving dish. Scoop 1/2 cup (125 mL) vanilla yogurt into each; spoon apple topping over each. Sprinkle with pecans (if using).

Tip: Cortland, Crispin (formerly called Mutsu), Ginger Gold, Golden Delicious and Northern Spy are all great apple choices for this recipe.

NOTE: Microwave recipes tested in a 700-watt microwave oven. Power level terminology in microwave ovens varies; check your owner's manual and use whichever word or number gives you the same percentages as in the recipe (High is always 100%). If your oven differs, cooking times may vary.
