Baked Apple Pie Enchiladas
A delightful fusion dessert combining the comforting flavors of traditional apple pie wrapped in soft flour tortillas and baked to perfection.
Ingredients
For the Apple Filling
- 4 cups peeled and sliced apples (about 4-5 medium apples) A mix of sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp is recommended.
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For Assembling
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce For drizzling on top.
- 1 tablespoon butter Melted, for drizzling over enchiladas.
Optional Serving
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream Optional, for serving.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the apples well and let sit for a few minutes.
Assembly
- Take a tortilla and place a scoop of the apple filling in the center. Roll it tightly, tucking in the sides, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Repeat until all tortillas and filling are used.
Baking
- Melt the butter and drizzle it over the assembled enchiladas. Pour any remaining filling on top, then cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.
Serving
- Once baked, drizzle with caramel sauce and serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
To make ahead, assemble the enchiladas a day in advance and refrigerate. If there's leftover apple filling, consider making an apple crisp.
