How to Make Apple Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the apple filling: In a medium bowl, combine 4 cups peeled and diced apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. Lay out 6 large flour tortillas on a clean surface.
  4. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the apple filling down the center of each tortilla.
  5. Sprinkle with a pinch of extra cinnamon (optional).
  6. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-down in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup milk, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  8. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens slightly.
  9. Pour the sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  10. Let stand for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  11. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the apples are tender.
  12. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
