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 (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples to ensure they cook evenly and absorb the flavors well.
- Melt Butter for Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter to create a flavorful base for the apple filling.
- Add Ingredients to Skillet: Add the sliced apples, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the melted butter, stirring to coat evenly.
- Cook Apples: Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples become soft but still retain their shape.
- Thicken Filling: Stir in the vanilla extract and cornstarch, then cook for an additional 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon the apple filling down the center of each tortilla.
- Fold and Roll: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
- Melt Butter for Cooking Wraps: Clean the skillet and melt some butter over medium heat for cooking the wraps.
- Cook Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crisp.
- Prepare Brown Sugar Butter Drizzle: In a small saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons brown sugar over low heat until melted and bubbling.
- Add Vanilla to Drizzle: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to the melted butter mixture and remove from heat.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the brown sugar butter over the warm wraps and dust with powdered sugar. Optionally sprinkle chopped pecans or raisins on top.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve warm, optionally paired with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
- Use firm apples such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for best texture.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon and brown sugar to taste if you prefer a sweeter or spicier filling.
- To keep wraps crispy, serve immediately after cooking.
- Optional nuts or raisins add extra texture and flavor but can be omitted for a nut-free variation.
- These wraps can be warmed up in a skillet or oven if made ahead.
