Description
Apple Pie Enchiladas Bake is a delicious twist on traditional apple pie, featuring soft tortillas filled with a spiced apple filling and topped with caramel sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (approximately 480 g) peeled and diced apples
- 375 ml water
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 110 g brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons apple pie spice blend
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 6 medium soft flour tortillas
- 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
- 120 ml caramel sauce
- 4 tablespoons (about 56 g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Set oven to 190°C to ensure even baking throughout.
- Combine apples, water, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and apple pie spice in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until apples soften and mixture starts to simmer, approximately 10 minutes.
- Add cornstarch to the saucepan and continue cooking for 2–5 minutes, stirring, until the filling thickens and achieves a smooth consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Spoon about 80 ml of apple filling onto each tortilla, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and roll tightly, making sure to tuck the edges. Arrange rolled tortillas seam side down in a 33 x 23 cm baking dish.
- In a small bowl, blend caramel sauce with melted butter. Stir vigorously until homogeneous.
- Evenly pour caramel-butter mixture over assembled enchiladas and allow to rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Place baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the tortillas are lightly golden and the sauce is bubbling.
- Cool slightly before serving. Portion with a spatula and accompany with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the filling.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
