Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 (21 oz) cans apple pie filling
Enchiladas
- 6 medium flour tortillas (8-inch)
Sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Serving
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prepare for baking the enchiladas.
- Fill and Roll Tortillas: Spoon about 1/3 cup of apple pie filling down the center of each tortilla. Carefully roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish to secure them.
- Make the Sauce: In a saucepan set over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, water, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 3 minutes while stirring constantly to create a smooth cinnamon sauce.
- Pour Sauce and Let Soak: Evenly pour the warm sauce over the enchiladas in the dish. Allow them to sit for 10 to 15 minutes so the tortillas can absorb some of the flavorful sauce, enhancing taste and moisture.
- Bake: Bake the enchiladas uncovered for 20 minutes or until the edges begin to bubble and turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve: Top each enchilada with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent and comforting dessert experience.
Notes
- For extra texture, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the apple filling before rolling the tortillas.
- These enchiladas are also delicious with a homemade apple filling if fresh apples are available.
