Description
Apple Pie Enchiladas are a delightful twist on traditional apple pie, combining the flavors of apple pie filling wrapped in flour tortillas and topped with a rich caramel sauce and a sweet vanilla glaze.
Ingredients
- 8 medium flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 cans (21 oz each) apple pie filling
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the filling: Combine apple pie filling, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Cut any large apple slices into smaller pieces.
- Fill the tortillas: Spoon approximately ⅓ cup of apple filling onto each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Make the caramel sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, water, and cinnamon. Stir and simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Pour the sauce: Evenly pour the warm caramel sauce over the rolled tortillas. Let stand for 10 minutes to absorb some sauce.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until the tortillas are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Prepare the glaze: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Finish and serve: Let cool for 5–10 minutes, drizzle with vanilla glaze, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding chopped nuts to the apple filling.
- These enchiladas can be served with ice cream for an extra treat.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
