Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas The base for wrapping the delicious filling.
- 2 cups sliced apples Fresh apples add that classic filling taste; Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great.
- ½ cup brown sugar Adds richness and a hint of caramel flavor.
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon The warm spice that complements the apples beautifully.
- 1 cup caramel sauce Drizzle this on top for added sweetness.
- ½ cup chopped walnuts For crunch and nuttiness, add these if desired.
- ¼ cup butter Used for cooking the apple filling.
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream (optional) A perfect topping if you want to add creaminess.
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Measure out sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and any other spices you wish to add.
Cooking
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once it’s melted, add the sliced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir occasionally until the apples are tender and caramelized but not mushy.
- Grab the flour tortillas and place a generous amount of the apple filling in the center of each one. Carefully roll the tortillas tightly around the filling, making sure they are sealed well.
- Once all tortillas are in the baking dish, generously drizzle the caramel sauce over the top.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). After the oven is ready, place the baking dish in and let them bake for about 20 minutes.
- When the enchiladas are nearly done, sprinkle the remaining cinnamon and sugar on top if desired.
Serving
- After baking, let them cool slightly before serving to allow the caramel to set a bit.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, serve the warm enchiladas with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
