What Do You Need To Make Apple Pie Enchiladas?

Flour Tortillas: Acting as the “enchilada” portion of this recipe, the flour tortillas form a solid foundation, binding together the flavorful apple filling in a delicious way.

Apples: No apple pie recipe can be complete without the inclusion of some delicious apples. These fruits not only provide a burst of sweetness but also enhance the overall flavor profile of the enchiladas, making them a perfect addition to your recipe.

Sugar: The sweetness of the apple filling is amplified by the addition of sugar.

Cinnamon: Adding cinnamon to dishes with apples is a winning combination, giving the dish a touch of warmth and an extra burst of flavor.

Butter: The utilization of butter while cooking apples imparts a luscious and buttery flavor.

Water: The addition of water to the apple filling enables the apples to break down and become more malleable during the cooking process.

How to make Apple Pie Enchiladas:

Heat up your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit in advance.

Melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet.

Toss the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and water into the skillet and stir until evenly mixed.

Allow the apple mixture to simmer on the stove, stirring intermittently, until the apples become soft and the liquid thickens, usually after 10-15 minutes of cooking time.

Lift the pan away from the flame and give the mixture some time to cool down.

Using a spoon, scoop 1/4 cup of the apple mixture onto every flour tortilla and proceed to tightly roll them up.

Smear a 9×13-inch baking dish with grease and place the rolled tortillas in it.

Place the enchiladas in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas turn slightly brown and crispy.

For a mouthwatering treat, serve it piping hot and pair it with either a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
