Apple Pie Roll-Ups (Print Version)

Golden baked roll-ups filled with tender, cinnamon-spiced apples for a speedy treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Apple Filling

01 - 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
04 - 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
05 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

→ Roll-Ups

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

→ Cinnamon Sugar Coating

08 - 0.25 cup granulated sugar
09 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add diced apples, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until apples are tender and juices are syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - Lay out the flour tortillas. Spoon the cooked apple mixture evenly along one edge of each tortilla.
04 - Roll up each tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Brush the tops of the roll-ups with melted butter. In a small bowl, combine 0.25 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture generously over the roll-ups.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the roll-ups are golden brown and crisp.
07 - Allow to cool slightly before serving warm. Optionally, serve with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Golden, crispy tortillas hide warm spiced apples that taste like fall in every bite.
  • Ready in 30 minutes flat, which means dessert when hunger strikes without the all-day commitment.
  • Naturally vegetarian and easily customizable with whatever fruit or spices you're craving.
02 -
  • Don't skip cooling the apple filling slightly—a rushing kitchen mistake that turns tortillas into mush is worth avoiding once to never repeat.
  • Brush the butter while the tortillas are still cool enough to touch; hot tortillas absorb the butter too quickly and unevenly.
03 -
  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the apple filling for crunch that stays crispy even after baking.
  • If your tortillas crack or are stubborn, warm them slightly in a dry skillet first—they become pliable and forgiving.
