Description

These Apple Pie Tortilla Wraps with Brown Sugar Butter blend the comforting flavors of classic apple pie into a quick, easy-to-make dessert. Tender cinnamon-spiced apples cooked in butter and brown sugar are wrapped in soft flour tortillas, then lightly pan-fried until golden and crisp. Finished with a luscious brown sugar butter drizzle and a dusting of powdered sugar, these warm wraps make a perfect cozy treat for any time of day.


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

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples to ensure they cook evenly and absorb the flavors well.
  2. Melt Butter for Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter to create a flavorful base for the apple filling.
  3. 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.
  4. Cook Apples: Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples become soft but still retain their shape.
  5. Thicken Filling: Stir in the vanilla extract and cornstarch, then cook for an additional 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  6. Assemble Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon the apple filling down the center of each tortilla.
  7. 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.
  8. Melt Butter for Cooking Wraps: Clean the skillet and melt some butter over medium heat for cooking the wraps.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Add Vanilla to Drizzle: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to the melted butter mixture and remove from heat.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
