Baked tortillas filled with spiced apples and topped with cinnamon sugar for a sweet treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Apple Filling

01 - 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
04 - ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
05 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

→ Roll-Ups

06 - 6 medium flour tortillas
07 - 2 tablespoons melted butter

→ Cinnamon Sugar Coating

08 - ¼ cup granulated sugar
09 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# Method Steps:

01 - Set the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
03 - Place the tortillas flat and spoon the apple mixture evenly along one edge of each tortilla.
04 - Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and arrange seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Brush the tops of the roll-ups with melted butter. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the roll-ups.
06 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the roll-ups are golden brown and crisp.
07 - Allow to cool slightly before serving warm. Optional accompaniments include vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're ready in thirty minutes flat, which means you can satisfy a serious dessert craving without planning ahead.
  • The crispy exterior gives way to warm, spiced apples that taste like you spent hours making them.
  • No special baking skills needed—if you can roll a tortilla, you've got this.
02 -
  • If your apples release too much liquid, cook them an extra minute or two before filling so the juices concentrate and the tortillas don't get soggy.
  • Don't skip the cooling step after cooking the apples—warm filling will make the tortillas steam and lose their structure.
03 -
  • Brush the tortillas with melted butter before you even add the filling—it creates a protective layer that keeps them crispier.
  • If you find yourself making these regularly, prep the apple filling ahead and refrigerate it; just warm it slightly before rolling to save time on busy evenings.
