APPLE PIE ENCHILADAS

APPLE PIE ENCHILADAS | August 28, 2024

Imagine the comforting aroma of a freshly baked apple pie wafting through your kitchen, but with a fun, unexpected twist. Apple Pie Enchiladas take the classic apple pie filling and transform it into a delectable dessert that’s both familiar and refreshingly new. This innovative dish combines the warm, spiced apple goodness of a traditional pie with the soft, tortilla-wrapped convenience of enchiladas. The result is a dessert that’s not only delicious but also incredibly easy to prepare, making it perfect for any occasion.

Growing up, my family had a tradition of baking apple pies every autumn. The process was always a family affair—peeling apples, mixing spices, and rolling out dough. But there was always a bit of dough leftover, and sometimes, our creativity would take over, leading us to experiment with unconventional ways to enjoy our beloved apple pie filling. One day, we decided to wrap the apple filling in tortillas, much like enchiladas, and bake them to perfection. The result was a hit—a delightful hybrid that brought together the best of both worlds. This recipe has since become a cherished family favorite, a treat that perfectly captures the essence of fall in every bite.
