Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 can 21 ounce can apple pie filling Canned filling for consistent texture.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Extra cinnamon for dusting, if desired.
  • 1/2 cup butter Use unsalted butter to control salt.
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Deepens caramel flavor.
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 6 pieces 8 inch flour tortillas 8-inch tortillas become soft pastry-like.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spoon about one heaping quarter cup of apple pie filling down the center of each tortilla. It should mound, not spill.
  2. Sprinkle each mound with a little ground cinnamon.
  3. Roll the tortilla tightly and tuck in the edges to prevent leaking. Place seam-side down in a buttered baking dish.
  4. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add white sugar, brown sugar, and water, and stir until smooth.
Cooking
  1. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil while stirring constantly until it thickens and bubbles.
  2. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and pour the sticky sauce evenly over the arranged enchiladas.
  4. Allow the dish to stand for 45 minutes to let the tortillas soften.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30 minutes or until edges are golden and sauce bubbles.
  6. Let cool for 5 minutes to allow sauce to set slightly before serving warm.

Notes

Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or chopped toasted pecans for texture. Serve with ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel for a delightful touch.
