Dessert Enchiladas (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
Apple pie filling: 1 can (21 oz) or homemade, for the filling.
02 -
Flour tortillas: 6 (8-inch), to wrap the filling.
03 -
Ground cinnamon: 1 tsp, for sprinkling.
04 -
Butter: 1/2 cup, for richness.
05 -
White sugar: 1/2 cup, for sweetness.
06 -
Brown sugar: 1/2 cup, for a deeper caramel flavor.
07 -
Water: 1/2 cup, to create the sauce base.
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
02 -
Spoon a heaping 1/4 cup of apple pie filling slightly off-center on each tortilla. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
03 -
Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
04 -
In a medium saucepan, combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
05 -
Pour the sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon if desired. Let stand for 45 minutes to absorb the sauce.
06 -
Bake the enchiladas for 20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
07 -
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, and drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra sweet touch.
# Notes:
01 -
The tortillas absorb the sweet sauce, creating a soft yet slightly crispy texture after baking.
02 -
Letting the enchiladas stand for 45 minutes ensures the sauce soaks in for maximum flavor.
03 -
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic pairing.
