Apple Pie Roll-Ups (Printable format)

Flour tortillas filled with spiced apples, baked until golden for a speedy sweet treat.

# List of ingredients:

→ Apple Filling

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

→ Roll-Ups

06 - 6 medium flour tortillas
07 - 2 tablespoons melted butter

→ Cinnamon Sugar Coating

08 - ¼ cup granulated sugar
09 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# How to make it:

01 - Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes until apples soften and juices become syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - Place tortillas flat and spoon the apple mixture evenly along one edge of each. Roll tortillas tightly around the filling and arrange seam-side down on the baking sheet.
04 - Brush each roll-up with melted butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle the mixture generously over the roll-ups.
05 - Bake roll-ups for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
06 - Allow to cool slightly before serving warm. Optionally pair with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They come together in thirty minutes flat, which means dessert doesn't have to mean hours of work.
  • The crispy-on-the-outside, tender-apple-inside combination hits that comfort food sweet spot without pretension.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling step after cooking the apples—a warm or even room-temperature filling will soften the tortilla too much and your roll-ups will fall apart when you try to move them.
  • The difference between a soggy roll-up and a crispy one is the oven temperature staying consistent and the baking time being precise; don't open the door to peek.
03 -
  • If your tortillas are a bit stiff, warm them in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side before filling—they'll be more pliable and less likely to crack.
  • Make the apple filling ahead of time and refrigerate it; just bring it to room temperature or warm it slightly before assembling so the tortillas don't get soggy.
