Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef, garlic and onion until beef is browned and onion is tender; drain. Stir in apple, broth, vinegar, tomato sauce, cinnamon and cumin; simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Stir in raisins and almonds if desired. To serve, fill each pita half with beef mixture and top with a dollop of sour cream; sprinkle with chives if desired.
