Ingredients
Method
Make the Apple Filling
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, then add sliced apples and stir gently to coat.
- Add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, stirring to distribute spices.
- Cook apples for about 5 to 7 minutes until softened but not mushy.
- Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth, then stir into the skillet.
- Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the filling thickens, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Preheat the Oven and Prep Your Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Roll the Enchiladas
- Lay one flour tortilla flat, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of apple filling down the center.
- If using, sprinkle a small pinch of shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.
- Roll the tortilla snugly and place seam-side down in the greased baking dish.
- Repeat for all 8 tortillas.
Make the Brown Sugar Sauce
- Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of water, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon until sugar dissolves.
- Bring to a gentle boil while stirring constantly for about 3 to 4 minutes.
Pour the Sauce and Bake
- Pour the brown sugar sauce evenly over the enchiladas in the baking dish.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the tops are golden brown.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and your choice of toppings.
Notes
Choose Granny Smith for tartness; warm tortillas prevent cracking. Make ahead by assembling the enchiladas and baking later.
