Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) apples
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large (8 to 10 inches diameter) flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter (for greasing the skillet)
- optional whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small 1/2-inch cubes.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract to the skillet. Stir to coat the apples evenly.
Cook the apples, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until they are softened and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Mix the sugar and ground cinnamon for the tortilla coating in a small bowl, and set aside.
On a clean surface, lay out the flour tortillas. Divide the apple filling evenly among the tortillas, placing the filling along one side of each tortilla.
Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling, tucking in the ends as you roll to create a snug wrap.
Lightly grease a large skillet with oil or butter and heat it over medium heat.
Place the filled tortilla wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crisp.
Remove the cooked tortillas and immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
Slice each tortilla in half diagonally and serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
