Key Ingredients for Apple Enchiladas

To whip up a batch of these divine Apple Enchiladas, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 6 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups peeled and sliced apples
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure your Apple Enchiladas bake perfectly.
2. Prepare the Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the white sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
3. Cook the Apples: Add the sliced apples to the mixture, stirring gently to coat them in the sweet sauce. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the apples are just tender.
4. Assemble the Enchiladas: Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon a generous amount of the apple mixture into the center of each tortilla and roll them up tightly.
5. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Pour any remaining apple mixture over the top.
6. Add Water: Carefully pour the water around the enchiladas in the dish, allowing it to help create a deliciously moist final product.
7. Bake: Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. The bubbling sauce should create an inviting aroma that’ll have everyone eagerly anticipating dessert.

What to Serve Apple Enchiladas With

Apple Enchiladas can hold their own, but they also love a little extra company! Consider serving them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for that delightful contrast of warm and cold. A sprinkle of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, adds a lovely crunch, making every bite more interesting. For a refreshing drink, pair the enchiladas with a glass of cold apple cider or a homemade lemonade to balance the sweetness.

Top Tips for Perfecting Apple Enchiladas

1. Substitutions: If you have other fruits on hand, feel free to experiment! Pears or berries can be delightful alternatives to apples.
2. Timing: Keep an eye on your enchiladas while they bake. Ovens may vary, and you want to achieve that perfect golden color without overbaking.
3. Common Mistakes: One common mistake is overcooking the apples before assembling the enchiladas. They should be tender but still hold their shape for a lovely texture.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Storing leftover Apple Enchiladas is easy! Simply cover them with plastic wrap or transfer them to an airtight container. They will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you’d like to freeze them, wrap each enchilada tightly in foil, and they’ll be good for up to 2 months.

When you’re ready to enjoy the leftovers, simply reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave them for a quicker reheating option—just make sure to cover them to keep them from drying out.
