Flour tortillas filled with spiced apples, baked golden for a speedy sweet treat.

# What You Need:

01 - 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
04 - 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until apples are tender and syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - Lay out tortillas and evenly spoon the apple mixture 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 granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle generously over the roll-ups.
07 - Bake the roll-ups for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
08 - Allow to cool slightly before serving warm. Optionally pair with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in 30 minutes flat, no rolling pins or pie crusts to wrestle with.
  • The filling gets jammy and syrupy on the stovetop, so every bite has that deep apple pie flavor without the fuss.
  • They're crispy on the outside, warm and tender inside, and somehow feel fancier than they actually are.
02 -
  • Don't overfill your tortillas or they'll burst open and leak filling; less is more, and you can always add a spoonful to the baking sheet if you're feeling generous.
  • The apples need to cool slightly before rolling, or the heat will make the tortillas too soft and they'll tear—I learned this the hard way on my third batch.
03 -
  • Use a pastry brush to coat each roll-up with butter; it ensures even coverage and that golden finish you're after.
  • If your apples release too much liquid during cooking, drain some of it off before filling the tortillas, or they'll get soggy.
