# 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

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

→ Cinnamon Sugar Coating

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and syrupy. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
03 - Lay out the tortillas and evenly spoon the cooked apple filling along one edge of each tortilla.
04 - Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Brush the tops of the roll-ups with melted butter.
06 - Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle generously over the roll-ups.
07 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until roll-ups are golden brown and crisp.
08 - Allow roll-ups to cool slightly before serving warm, optionally accompanied by vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They come together in under 30 minutes with ingredients you probably have
  • The tortilla gets flaky and crisp while staying sturdy enough to hold everything
02 -
  • Overfilling the tortillas causes blowouts in the oven. A thin layer of apples goes further than you think.
  • Cooling the apples for even five minutes prevents steam from making the tortillas gummy.
03 -
  • Mix the cinnamon and sugar coating in a shallow bowl so you can easily press the buttered tops into it.
  • Space the roll ups evenly on the baking sheet so heat circulates and they crisp on all sides.
