How to Make Apple Pie Enchiladas

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.

Step 2: Prepare the Apple Filling

If the apple slices are large, chop them slightly so they fit better in the tortillas.

Step 3: Fill the Tortillas

Spoon about ⅓ cup apple pie filling down the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla up like an enchilada and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.

Step 4: Make the Cinnamon Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a boil while stirring, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla and cinnamon.

Step 5: Pour the Sauce

Pour the warm cinnamon sauce evenly over the tortillas.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 30–35 minutes until the tortillas are golden and the sauce becomes thick and bubbly.

Step 7: Serve

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate dessert.
