Cheesy Apple Tostadas

I've been perusing a cooking site looking for ideas.  I had seen several apple pie and tart recipes -- none like this -- but that is where the inspiration came from.  Boy, are these good AND easy!

Cheesy Apple Tostadas
Makes 3

Pre-heat the oven to 350F, then dip a spoon into some liquid

coconut oil

and rub it onto the back of

3 corn tortilla

Place the tortillas, oil side down, onto a baking sheet.  Sprinkle them each with

~2 tablespoons of grated cheddar and jack cheese*

*or if you are dairy free, use goat milk cheese.  It would just be awesome anyway with this recipe!

Slice into very thin slices and arrange atop the cheese

1 medium sized apple

Sprinkle with

1 packet Truvia sweetener
Cinnamon

At this point, I had some leftover cookie crumbs** and sprinkled the top of each tostada with some of those, then I drizzled the top with about

1/2 teaspoon coconut oil

**If there aren't cookie crumbs available, they can just be omitted or sprinkle the top with chopped nuts and coconut, then drizzle with the coconut oil.

Bake the tostadas for about 12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the apples are becoming soft.  Cut them into triangles with kitchen scissors and enjoy!
