Ingredients:
- 4 apples, peeled, cored, and cut into wedges
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) butter
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) firmly packed brown sugar
- 4 medium Old El Paso™ flour tortillas (6-inch [15 cm])
- Cooking spray
- Ice Cream With Vanilla
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) caramel sauce, warmed up
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 230°C (450°F). Spray a 20 or 23 cm (8 or 9 inch) baking dish with cooking spray, ensuring it’s evenly coated. (1.9 L [2 quarts]).
- In a 25 cm (10 in.) skillet, heat the apples and butter over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Add the brown sugar to the skillet and cook until it’s melted and forms a caramel-like consistency.
- Once the apples are tender and coated in the brown sugar mixture, it’s time to assemble the enchiladas. Spoon a quarter of the apple filling onto each tortilla, then carefully roll them up. Place the enchiladas seam side down in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly next to each other.
- To ensure a golden brown finish, lightly spray the tops of the enchiladas with cooking spray before placing them in the oven.
- Bake the enchiladas for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges. The aroma of warm apples and cinnamon will fill your kitchen, signaling that they’re ready to be enjoyed.
- Once out of the oven, serve the Apple Pie Enchiladas warm, accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle each serving with warmed caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch.
