Apple enchiladas are delicious apple desserts. Apple slices spiced with cinnamon, sweetened with sugar then rolled in flour tortillas, smothered in brown butter sauce.
Baked to golden brown, topped with sauce, nuts and ice cream. Do I need to say more? If this doesn’t tempt you enough, I don’t know what will!
Enchiladas are popular Mexican dish that is made by stuffing vegetables and baked beans folded in corn tortillas, enchilada sauce and cheese are added to it and then baked in oven. While that is savory enchilada there is sweet version too, which usually uses fruits in the stuffing.
Instead of savory sauce we have sweet sauce made of butter and brown sugar. This sensational sauce is the highlight in apple enchiladas.

Sweet apple enchiladas with cinnamon powder, butter and sugar in it makes it a rich delicious dessert. But feel free to serve it for breakfast too. Who wouldn’t want a indulgence breakfast right?

Yous tart by making apple pie filling first. Chunks of apples are cooked in bubbling butter and sugar mix until apples are tender but still holds it’s shape. Homemade apple pie filling is that easy to make. Comes together in about 15 minutes. But if are looking for shortcut to save some time, go for store bought apple pie filling. I will work.
