Apple Pie Enchiladas - A Sweet Fusion Treat

Apple Pie Enchiladas are the perfect combination of classic apple pie flavors and the convenience of enchiladas. Soft tortillas are filled with spiced apple pie filling, rolled tightly, and baked in a rich caramel sauce. This unique dessert is ideal for fall gatherings, family dinners, or a cozy night in. The combination of warm cinnamon, sweet apples, and buttery caramel creates a dessert that’s both comforting and indulgent.

Ingredients

• Apple pie filling: 1 can (21 oz) or homemade, for the filling
• Flour tortillas: 6 (8-inch), to wrap the filling
• Ground cinnamon: 1 tsp, for sprinkling
• Butter: 1/2 cup, for richness
• White sugar: 1/2 cup, for sweetness
• Brown sugar: 1/2 cup, for a deeper caramel flavor
• Water: 1/2 cup, to create the sauce base

Instructions

Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.

Step 2:

Spoon a heaping 1/4 cup of apple pie filling slightly off-center on each tortilla. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon, then roll tightly and place seam-side down in the dish.

Step 3:

In a saucepan, combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes while stirring constantly.

Step 4:

Pour the sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon if desired. Let stand for 45 minutes to absorb the sauce.

Step 5:

Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, and drizzle with caramel sauce.

Serving and Storage Tips

• Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven before serving.

Helpful Notes
