These apple enchiladas are a great fall or winter dessert. Easier than pie or cake, but smells great in the oven. Made with a few ingredients and ready to eat in minutes. This goes well after many meals or serve it with breakfast.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

All the flavors of apple pie in an easy-to-make dessert. Apple pie filling dusted with cinnamon is wrapped inside flour tortillas. What makes this treat is the delicious sauce. It's buttery with caramel notes (thanks to the brown sugar) and soaks into the rolls. Once baked, the enchiladas are crispy and filled with sweet and juicy apples. Make sure to serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum!
