Apple Enchilada Dessert Recipe
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 6 flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup water
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 can apple pie filling (21 ounces)
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This ensures that it’s ready for baking when your apple enchiladas are prepared. -
Prepare Tortillas:
Lay out the 6 flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon the apple pie filling evenly onto each tortilla, making sure to distribute it across the entire surface. -
Sprinkle Cinnamon:
Sprinkle cinnamon over the apple pie filling on each tortilla. This adds a warm and aromatic flavor to your dessert. -
Roll Up Tortillas:
Roll up each tortilla, enclosing the apple pie filling securely inside. Place them seam side down in a lightly greased 8×8 baking pan. This arrangement helps them retain their shape while baking. -
Prepare Sauce:
In a saucepan, combine the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to ensure the sugars dissolve completely. -
Simmer Sauce:
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. This helps thicken the sauce and infuse it with rich, caramelized flavors. -
Pour Sauce Over Tortillas:
After simmering, pour the sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking pan. Ensure that each enchilada is generously coated with the sweet sauce. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top for added flavor. -
Bake:
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake the apple enchiladas for 20 minutes. During this time, the tortillas will absorb the sauce and become golden brown and delicious. -
Serve Warm:
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the apple enchiladas to cool slightly. Serve them warm for the best experience, allowing the sweet aroma to fill the air. -
Enjoy with Ice Cream:
These apple enchiladas are delightful on their own, but for an extra indulgent treat, serve them with a scoop of vanilla or caramel ice cream on top. The contrast of warm and cold, sweet and creamy, is simply irresistible!
