Ingredients

Scale

For the Enchiladas:

2 (21 oz) cans apple pie filling (or 4 cups homemade)
8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Sauce:

½ cup unsalted butter
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup water
½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Assemble the Enchiladas:

Spoon about ½ cup apple pie filling onto the center of each tortilla.
Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon.
Roll tightly, folding in the sides as you go, and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Repeat with all tortillas.

3. Prepare the Sauce:

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
Stir in granulated sugar, brown sugar, and water.
Bring to a boil, stirring often, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

4. Pour the Sauce:

Pour the warm sauce evenly over the enchiladas in the baking dish, making sure they’re well coated.

5. Bake:

Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the tortillas are golden.

6. Serve:

Allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Best enjoyed warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

For added texture, stir chopped pecans or walnuts into the apple filling before assembling.
Double the sauce if you prefer extra caramel coating.

Substitute with homemade apple pie filling for a fresher, more customized flavor.
