Apple, Ham and Cheddar Pita Pizza with Honey Mustard-Thyme Sauce

July 21, 2014 by healthyrecipeecstasy

I feel like a kid again. I’ve been eating pita pizzas all week. It’s not the first time. Pita pizzas have been known to make the rotation through my weekly lunch menu. But there’s something about these particular pita pizzas with sliced apples and cheddar that really make me feel like a kid again. Where’s my juice box and sidewalk chalk? 🙂

It’s the same way I felt when I got my POPSUGAR Must Have Box this week. I mean who can possibly control themselves when they open up a box that includes a floppy straw hat, a jump rope and fun party drink straws?? Ummm…no one I know.

But don’t worry all you sophisticated adults. Thyme honey mustard sauce really fancies these pizzas up so kids and grownups alike can enjoy them. In fact, the first time I made these pita pizzas at the Junior League of Washington Kids in the Kitchen event, they were a big ole hit with the grownups. I saw you, moms and dads, coming back for seconds and thirds. You know who you are.

Alright, busy moms. I gotta tell you. You will love this recipe most of all because:

1. These pita pizzas are delicious – a little tangy, a little sweet, a little bit country, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll.

2. They’re healthy – low-fat cheddar, whole-wheat pitas, fruit.

3. You can throw this meal together in under 15 minutes. Who can beat that? NO ONE!

4. Pita pizzas are just gosh darn adorable. And adorable food is always better, right?

I have to admit something. There are some meals that I make for the blog which are delish, but after a couple of days of taste testing and leftovers, I’m so over them. Not this one. This one, I was all jumping up and down ecstatic to eat the leftovers for lunch and crushed when I ran out. I may have gone into pita pizza withdrawal. That’s a thing, right?

    Are the pizzas crunchy, or are they soft?

      Hi Hector. They’re a little bit of both. The edges are crunchy but the middle is soft. The longer you cook them, the crunchier they get.
