Apple Pie Enchiladas
These Apple Pie Enchiladas turn a classic apple‑pie filling into a fun, hand‑held dessert. The tortillas soak up a buttery caramel sauce and bake to a golden finish, making a comforting treat that’s ready in under an hour.
Instructions
-
In a large bowl combine the canned apple pie filling with the cinnamon. If desired, chop the apples into smaller pieces.
-
Spoon about a heaping quarter‑cup of the filling onto the center of each tortilla, roll them up, and place seam‑side down in a buttered baking dish.
-
In a saucepan over medium heat melt the butter, then stir in the white sugar, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
-
Pour the hot sauce over the rolled tortillas, cover, and let stand for 45 minutes to allow the tortillas to soften.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the enchiladas for 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden.

About this recipe
The dish combines the familiar flavors of apple pie—spiced apples, brown and white sugar, and a hint of cinnamon—with the soft texture of flour tortillas. After rolling the filling inside, the enchiladas sit in a sweet sauce that transforms the tortillas into a dough‑like base before baking, resulting in a tender, slightly crisp exterior.
Serve warm straight from the oven, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel. It’s a playful twist on dessert that’s perfect for family gatherings or a quick sweet fix.
