Food and Drink Pairings:
The Apple Enchilada Dessert pairs beautifully with a variety of beverages and accompaniments. Here are a few suggestions to enhance your dining experience:

Ingredients
- 1 (21-ounce) can of apple pie filling
- 6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup water
- ⅓ cup margarine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). This will ensure that your Apple Enchilada Dessert bakes to perfection.
Spoon the apple pie filling evenly onto all the tortillas. Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the filling, adjusting the amount to suit your taste.
Roll up the tortillas, making sure to tuck in the sides, and place them seam side down on a lightly greased 8×8-inch baking pan. This will help keep the enchiladas together while baking.
In a medium saucepan, bring the white sugar, brown sugar, water, and margarine to a boil. Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. This will create a delicious sauce that adds a delightful sweetness to the enchiladas.
Pour the sauce evenly over the tortillas, ensuring each one is coated with the luscious sweetness. For an extra touch of cinnamon flavor, sprinkle some additional ground cinnamon on top.
Bake the Apple Enchilada Dessert in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the tortillas to become beautifully golden and crispy.
Notes
This recipe makes 6 large tortillas, but if you’re serving a larger crowd or prefer smaller portions, you can cut the enchiladas in half to serve 12.
Experiment with different fillings to suit your taste. Try using other fruit pie fillings such as cherry or peach for a unique twist.
Serve the Apple Enchilada Dessert warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
