How to Make Apple Enchilada Dessert
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Warm 6 large flour tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds each to make them pliable.
- In a large bowl, combine 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced), 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Spoon the apple mixture evenly onto the center of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle each tortilla with an additional 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in a lightly greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) of margarine, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of water.
- Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle with a final 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
- Optional: Top with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
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!
