1 tablespoon (15 mL)
2 1/2 cups (625 mL)

1 cup (250 mL)

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 tortillas with a fork. Place each tortilla over inverted 4-inch (10 cm) bowl and lightly press around the bowl. Microwave 2 tortillas on High for 2 minutes or until crisp. Remove from bowls and cool on rack. Repeat with remaining 2 tortillas. (Tortilla bowls can be prepared up to 2 weeks ahead; store in an airtight container.)

In medium saucepan melt butter, stir in apple slices cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally 4-5 minutes or until apples are tender. Sprinkle cornstarch over apples, stir in apple cider, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon and simmer until sauce comes just to a boil, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool.

To serve, place tortilla bowl on serving dish, place a ½ cup (125 mL) scoop of vanilla yogurt and divide apple topping. Sprinkle with pecans.

Make ahead: Apple Topping can be prepared up to two days ahead, covered and refrigerated. When ready to serve reheat in microwave.

Tip: Cortland, Crispin formerly called Mutsu, Ginger Gold, Golden Delicious and Northern Spy are all great apple choice to try in this recipe.
