Description

This Irresistible Apple Pie Enchiladas recipe combines the warm, comforting flavors of apple pie with a fun, handheld twist. Rolled in soft flour tortillas and smothered in a rich cinnamon-brown sugar sauce, these baked enchiladas make a perfect dessert for fall or any cozy occasion. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent finish.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 cups apple pie filling (homemade or canned)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Enchiladas

  • 6 small flour tortillas

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup water

Optional toppings

  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts (for added crunch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix filling: In a bowl, combine the apple pie filling with ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed for a warm, aromatic flavor.
  3. Assemble enchiladas: Spoon about 1/3 cup of the seasoned apple filling down the center of each flour tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Make sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly until the sugars dissolve completely and the sauce is smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. Pour sauce and soak: Pour the warm cinnamon-brown sugar sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas. Let the dish sit for 15 minutes to allow the tortillas to soak up some of the sauce flavor.
  6. Bake: Bake the enchiladas uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the tops are golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired. Optionally, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the top before baking for added crunch.

Notes

  • For an extra crunchy texture, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the enchiladas before baking.
  • You can use store-bought flour tortillas or make your own for a more rustic, homemade touch.
  • Letting the enchiladas soak in the sauce before baking enhances the flavor and moisture.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
