This is a recipe I developed for the Culinary Quest 2016 Challenge "Pita - Stuff It!" This makes for a delicious breakfast or even a light dessert!!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is a light and delicious breakfast option. We loved how the cinnamon and sugar mixture makes the pita sweet and crunchy. It's a great compliment to the creamy yogurt and fruit mixture. There is a great combination of fruits stuffed inside. Toasted almonds are a great topping and add that last bit of crunch. A simple but yummy idea!
