# Components:

01 - 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
04 - ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
05 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add diced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes until apples are tender and juices become syrupy. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
03 - Arrange flour tortillas flat and evenly spoon the cooked apple mixture along one edge of each tortilla.
04 - Roll tortillas tightly around the apple filling and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Brush the tops of the roll-ups with melted butter.
06 - Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture generously over the tops of the roll-ups.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
08 - Allow the roll-ups to cool slightly before serving warm. Optional accompaniments include vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in 30 minutes flat, no rolling out dough or waiting for a crust to chill.
  • The tortilla gets crispy and golden while keeping the apples soft and juicy inside.
  • Tastes like you spent way more time in the kitchen than you actually did.
02 -
  • Don't skip cooling the apple filling—hot filling will make tortillas soggy and they won't crisp properly in the oven.
  • The parchment paper is non-negotiable; these stick aggressively without it, and you'll be frustrated scraping caramelized sugar off your sheet.
03 -
  • Make the apple filling up to two hours ahead and store it covered; you can assemble and bake right when hunger strikes.
  • If your tortillas are thick or stiff, warm them in a dry skillet for ten seconds on each side to make them pliable and less likely to crack when rolling.
