How to Make Apple Cinnamon Dessert Enchiladas
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, gently combine 2 cups of your favorite apple pie filling (homemade or canned) with ½ cup raisins.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon evenly over the apple and raisin mixture.
- Lay out 6 large flour tortillas. Divide the apple mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it down the center of each.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly and place seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, combine ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup water, and 1 cup heavy cream.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugars are dissolved and the sauce slightly thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
- Pour the warm sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas in the baking dish.
- Let the enchiladas stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
- Serve immediately, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
