Apple Pie Enchiladas

Got some leftover flour tortillas? Need a quick dessert? Try this recipe for a quick and delicious dessert with some ice cream.
I got this recipe from Facebook.

Apple Pie Enchiladas


1 (21 oz) can apple pie filling
6 (8 inch) flour tortillas
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup butter
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla

Spoon about one heaping quarter cup of pie filling evenly down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with cinnamon (works best in a shaker) roll up, tucking in edges; and place seam side down in prepared dish.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes, remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Pour sauce over enchiladas and let stand 45 minutes…Don’t rush the 45 minute resting time for the sauce on the enchiladas before baking as this step helps to magically transform the flour tortilla into a faux pastry dough.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until golden.
Each sauce recipe is enough for 6 Apple Pie Enchiladas.
  • SWMO, do you have a complete recipe for that? I would be interested in seeing it.
  • Sounds good, I have everything but the apple pie filling. Need to make a quick trip to the store. Thanks
  • I wonder if one could use the recipe for dumplings that use Crescent rolls and lemon-lime soda? The tortillas would certainly be cheaper and probably just as tasty. That recipe uses fresh Granny Smiths, the butter and sugar with a can of soda for the liquid.
  • Yummy sounding, will have to give it a try!
