Ingredients
- 1 (21 oz) can apple pie filling
- 6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Generously butter a 9×13-inch baking dish. If your tortillas feel stiff, microwave them for 10-15 seconds to make them soft and pliable.
- Fill & Roll: Lay one tortilla flat. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the apple pie filling onto the center. Sprinkle a little cinnamon over the filling. Roll it up snugly, like a burrito, and place it seam-side down in the prepared dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and water. Set it over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugars dissolve. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 3 minutes until it’s a golden, syrupy consistency.
- The Magic Soak: This is the most important part! Pour the warm sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Now, you have to wait. Let them stand at room temperature for 45 minutes to soak up all that incredible flavor.
- Bake: Pop the dish into your preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the edges are a beautiful golden brown.
Notes
Serving Suggestions: These are best served warm, right out of the oven. A big scoop of vanilla ice cream melting on top is a must. A drizzle of extra caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream is also a fantastic idea.
Tips & Tricks: The 45-minute soak time is non-negotiable! It’s the secret to getting a tender, almost pastry-like texture. Feel free to use homemade apple pie filling if you have it, but canned is a great shortcut.
Storage & Reheating: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, microwave for 30-60 seconds, or pop them back in a 350°F oven for a few minutes to crisp them back up.
