• 2  Granny Smith apples
• 1  pinch cinnamon, ground
• 1  teaspoons sugar or sugar substitute
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 teaspoon butter*
• 4  wheat tortillas
• 4  teaspoons sliced walnuts
• 2 tablespoons dulce de leche or caramel

Wash, peel and core apples. Place the peeled apples in a bowl of water and the juice of ½ a lemon.  Slice apples thru ¼ inch thick to resemble orange sections.  In a medium non-stick pan, add 1 teaspoon butter, add apples, sweetener, walnuts, and cinnamon.

Over low/medium heat, cook until tender but firm.  Remove apple filling from pan and set aside.

Place a tortilla in the pan.  Spoon 1/4 of the apple mixture onto to 1/4 of the tortilla and carefully fold the tortilla over twice (making a triangle shape). Carefully slide tortilla crepe from pan to a plate.  Top with sliced walnuts and dulce de leche or caramel.

Repeat with remaining tortillas.
