These Apple Pie Enchiladas are a fun twist on traditional apple pie, combining warm cinnamon-spiced apples wrapped in flour tortillas, topped with a buttery caramel-like sauce. It’s like having individual apple pies in a handheld form—perfect for a cozy dessert!

Ingredients:

1 (21 oz) can Apple Pie Filling
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 cup Butter
1/2 cup White Sugar
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Water
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
6 (8-inch) Flour Tortillas (Store-bought works great; just be sure to get flour tortillas.)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish and set aside.
Prepare the Filling: Spoon about a heaping 1/4 cup of apple pie filling evenly down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for extra flavor.
Roll the Enchiladas: Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the edges as you go. Place the rolled tortillas seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
Make the Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add white sugar, brown sugar, and water. Stir constantly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and let the mixture simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Pour the Sauce: Pour the warm sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Let the enchiladas sit and absorb the sauce for 45 minutes before baking. This resting time is crucial as it allows the tortillas to soak up the sauce, transforming them into a pastry-like texture.
Bake: Once the resting period is complete, bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

Serve:

Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes, then serve warm. You can top them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.

Enjoy

These Apple Pie Enchiladas are a delightful dessert that tastes just like classic apple pie but with a unique twist. The tortillas turn flaky and tender in the oven, while the caramelized sauce adds a rich sweetness that complements the spiced apples perfectly.
