Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Burrito

My mom and I used to make these back when I was in high school.  I was home sick for a few months and my English teacher would come over after school to tutor me.  Mom always made this easy treat for him as a snack and he thought she was the best cook in the world because of them.  He liked these apple burritos so much that he continued to talk about it in class when I returned and then again a few years later when my younger brother had him.  I was completely embarrassed then, but secretly was so proud of my mom.

I'll make these for breakfast or even lunch.  When preparing it for lunch for the week, I'll cook up a few extra apples, then portion them out for a few meals and store the spiced apples in air tight containers.  When I'm ready to take it along with me, I'll throw some yogurt and chopped nuts in the container.  Keep the tortilla separated and assemble when you're ready to eat it, otherwise you'll end up with a soggy mess. 

1 large tortilla (whole wheat or white)

1 Granny Smith apple

1 1/2 tsp. salted butter

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. granulated sugar

1 handful of chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds

yogurt, plain or French vanilla

1. Peel, core, and thinly slice your apple to about 1/4 inch thickness.
2. In a saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter.  Add the apples, cinnamon, and sugar and cook, approximately 3-4 minutes, until the apples are semi-soft.
3. Arrange the apples in the center of your tortilla.  Add a dollop of yogurt.  Fold up the bottom of your tortilla, then the sides.
