Oh, let me tell you about the magic that happens when you combine apple pie with enchiladas! You might be thinking, „Wait, what?” But trust me, these apple pie enchiladas are a delightful twist on two classic desserts, and they’ve become a favorite in my home! Picture this: warm, cinnamon-spiced apple pie filling wrapped in soft tortillas, all drizzled with luscious caramel sauce. It’s like a cozy hug from Grandma, but way easier to whip up! I remember the first time I made these for my friends—they couldn’t believe how delicious and simple they were. The sweet, gooey filling paired with the buttery tortillas creates a flavor explosion that will have everyone coming back for seconds (or thirds!). So, are you ready to dive into this sweet adventure with me? Let’s get cooking!
Ingredients List
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups apple pie filling (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (you can use more if you’re a caramel lover!)
- 1 cup whipped cream (for serving, because who doesn’t love whipped cream?)
How to Prepare Apple Pie Enchiladas
- First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial because you want those enchiladas to bake perfectly, so don’t skip it!
- While the oven is warming up, grab a mixing bowl and combine the apple pie filling with the ground cinnamon and brown sugar. Give it a good stir until everything is evenly mixed. The smell will be heavenly!
- Now, take a large flour tortilla and place a generous scoop of that delicious apple mixture right in the center. Don’t be shy—load it up! You want all that flavor in every bite.
- Carefully roll up the tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go to keep that scrumptious filling inside. Place the rolled enchilada seam side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat this process for all the tortillas.
- Once you have them all lined up in the dish, drizzle that divine caramel sauce over the top. Honestly, the more, the merrier!
- Pop the baking dish into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes. You’ll want to keep an eye on them; they should be heated through and slightly golden when done.
- Finally, serve your warm apple pie enchiladas with a dollop of whipped cream on top. Trust me, this finishing touch takes them to the next level!

Tips for Success
Alright, let’s talk about how to make your apple pie enchiladas absolutely perfect! First off, don’t overfill your tortillas—while it’s tempting to add more, too much filling can make them burst during baking. A generous scoop is great, but keep it manageable! Also, make sure your caramel sauce is warm when you drizzle it on top; it’ll spread more evenly and melt into the enchiladas beautifully.
If you’re using store-bought apple pie filling, taste it first! Some brands can be sweeter than others, so you might want to adjust the brown sugar accordingly. And don’t forget, these enchiladas are even better the next day! If you can, let them sit overnight in the fridge for the flavors to meld. Trust me, it’s worth it!
Variations
One of the best things about these apple pie enchiladas is how adaptable they are! If you’re feeling adventurous, why not switch up the filling? You could try using peach or cherry pie filling for a fruity twist. Imagine the sweet and tart flavors wrapped in those warm tortillas—yum!
If you want to add a bit of crunch, toss in some chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, to the apple mixture. It adds a lovely texture and a nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with the sweetness. For a healthier option, consider using whole wheat tortillas or even gluten-free tortillas if you’re avoiding gluten.
And if you’re a spice lover, a pinch of nutmeg or allspice can elevate the flavor profile even more. Get creative and make this recipe your own—the possibilities are endless!
Serving Suggestions
To make your apple pie enchiladas an unforgettable dessert experience, think about what to serve alongside them! A scoop of vanilla ice cream is a classic pairing that adds a creamy contrast to the warm enchiladas. If you’re feeling a bit fancy, a drizzle of extra caramel sauce or a sprinkle of chopped nuts on top can really elevate the dish.
As for drinks, a warm cup of spiced apple cider or a light, fruity sangria would be delightful companions. If you prefer something non-alcoholic, a refreshing sparkling water with a slice of lemon or lime will cleanse the palate beautifully. Enjoy the sweet flavors and cozy vibes!

FAQ Section
Can I use different types of tortillas?
Absolutely! While I love using large flour tortillas for their softness, you can also experiment with corn tortillas if you prefer a gluten-free option. Just be mindful that they might be a bit more delicate to work with.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the apple pie enchiladas ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Just drizzle the caramel sauce on top right before baking to keep everything fresh and delicious!
What if I don’t have apple pie filling?
No worries! You can easily make your own by cooking diced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and a bit of lemon juice until they’re tender. It’s a great way to customize the filling to your taste.
Can I freeze these enchiladas?
Yes, you can freeze them before baking! Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container. When you’re ready to enjoy, bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?
The best way to reheat is in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This keeps them nice and soft, just like when they were freshly baked!
