# Components:

→ Fruit Filling

01 - 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
02 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
03 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
06 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

08 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
09 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
10 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

11 - Vanilla ice cream

# Directions:

01 - In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the diced apples, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5–7 minutes until the apples are tender and the juices have thickened into a syrup. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
02 - Spoon the cooled apple mixture evenly onto the center of each flour tortilla. Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up tightly to form wraps.
03 - Brush each assembled wrap generously all over with the melted butter.
04 - In a shallow bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Roll each buttered wrap in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until thoroughly coated.
05 - Place the coated wraps seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, or until the wraps are golden brown and crisp.
06 - Allow the wraps to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
