Preparation
1
PREP

  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, core, and thinly slice apple. Trim, peel, and cut carrots into sticks (like fries; ours were 3 inches long and ⅓ inch thick). Halve, core, and thinly slice pear.

2
ASSEMBLE PIZZA-DILLAS

  • Place tortillas on a clean work surface.

  • Evenly spread one half of each tortilla with marinara. Top with as much pepperoni as you like, then sprinkle with mozzarella.

  • Fold tortillas in half to create pizza-dillas.

3
COOK PIZZA-DILLAS

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Add pizza-dillas and cook until tortillas are browned and cheese melts, 3-5 minutes per side. (For 6 servings, you may need to work in batches, using a large drizzle of oil for each batch.) Transfer to a cutting board.

4
SERVE OR STASH LUNCH

  • To serve: Halve pizza-dillas. Divide between plates and serve with apple slices, carrot sticks, and pear slices.

  • To stash: Let pizza-dillas cool completely before halving. Refrigerate pizza-dillas, apple slices, carrot sticks, and pear slices in separate airtight containers and pack as desired!

5
START SNACK

  • Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 6 servings) in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until butter melts, 30-45 seconds. Add 2 tsp white sugar and ½ tsp cinnamon (3 tsp white sugar and ¾ tsp cinnamon for 6); whisk to combine.

  • Add pretzel bites to bowl with cinnamon-sugar butter; toss to evenly coat.

  • Arrange coated pretzel bites in a single layer on a baking sheet (drizzle any remaining cinnamon-sugar butter over top). Bake on middle rack until lightly glazed and warmed through, 6-8 minutes.

6
FINISH SNACK

  • Meanwhile, place cream cheese in a medium microwave-safe bowl (use a second large bowl for 6 servings); cover with plastic wrap. Microwave until softened, about 30 seconds. Add yogurt and powdered sugar; whisk until smooth.

  • Serve cinnamon-sugar pretzel bites with cream cheese icing on the side for dipping.
