Ingredients
Scale
For the Apple Filling
- 2 medium flour tortillas
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- Pinch of salt
For the Brown Sugar Butter Drizzle
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or raisins
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
- Melt Butter: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter to prepare for sautéing the apple filling.
- Add Apple Mixture: Add the sliced apples, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the melted butter in the skillet.
- Cook Apples: Sauté the apple mixture for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft but still maintain their shape.
- Thicken Filling: Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon cornstarch; cook for an additional 2 minutes to thicken the filling.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out the tortillas and spoon the warm apple filling down the center of each tortilla.
- Wrap Tortillas: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to form a secure wrap.
- Heat Wraps: In a clean skillet, melt some butter over medium heat and place the wraps seam-side down to seal and crisp.
- Cook Wraps: Cook each wrap for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Prepare Drizzle: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons brown sugar, stirring gently.
- Finish Drizzle: Once the mixture is melted and bubbling, stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and remove from heat.
- Serve: Drizzle the warm wraps with the brown sugar butter sauce and dust with powdered sugar as desired. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped pecans or raisins.
- Optional Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
Notes
- You can substitute the flour tortillas with whole wheat tortillas for a healthier variation.
- To add texture, include chopped nuts or raisins in the apple filling.
- Ensure not to overcook the apples; they should be tender but not mushy.
- These wraps are best enjoyed warm to maintain the crispness of the tortilla.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a skillet for best results rather than a microwave.
