APPLE PIE ENCHILADAS

Carefully roll up each tortilla, making sure the filling stays securely inside. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Arrange them close together to ensure they cook uniformly and absorb the sauce evenly.
4. Prepare the Sauce
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 3 minutes. Continue stirring to ensure the sugar completely dissolves and the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened.

Pour the hot sugar sauce evenly over the enchiladas. For added flavor, you can sprinkle a little more ground cinnamon on top. The sauce will soak into the tortillas as they bake, creating a sweet and gooey layer that enhances the apple filling.
5. Allow to Soak and Bake
Let the enchiladas sit for 45 minutes. This soaking period allows the tortillas to absorb the sauce and flavors, ensuring a richer and more integrated taste.

Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they bake; you want them to turn golden brown and slightly crispy on top. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so check for doneness by looking for a golden color and a bubbly, caramelized sauce.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, and they pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle with caramel sauce.

These Apple Pie Enchiladas make an excellent dessert for family gatherings, potlucks, or simply a cozy night in. Their unique presentation and irresistible flavor are sure to impress and satisfy any crowd.
Variations and Substitutions
Fruit Variations: While apple pie filling is a classic choice, you can experiment with other fruit fillings. Try using peach, cherry, or blueberry pie filling for a delightful twist. Adjust the spices to complement the fruit you choose.

Gluten-Free Option: For a gluten-free version, substitute gluten-free tortillas. Ensure that all other ingredients, such as the pie filling and sugar, are gluten-free as well.

Spice it Up: If you like a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the cinnamon for a subtle spicy kick.

Vegan Adaptations: Substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and use a dairy-free pie filling. Ensure the tortillas are vegan-friendly if needed.
