Ingredients
4 large tortillas
2 cups diced apples (peeled and cored)
1 cup caramel sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional for extra spice)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Fresh parsley or mint (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Apple Filling: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes until apples are tender and coated in a rich sauce. Remove from heat.
- Fill and Roll the Tortillas: Lay the tortillas flat. Spoon the apple mixture down the center of each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Add Caramel and Cheese: Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the enchiladas, ensuring each one is coated. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake the Enchiladas: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Let the enchiladas cool slightly, then garnish with fresh parsley or mint. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for a decadent dessert.
