Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 21 oz cherry pie filling
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of cherry pie filling down the center of each tortilla.
Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until the sugars dissolve.
Add the vanilla extract and water, stirring until well combined.
Pour the sugar and butter mixture evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and the sugar mixture is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
