Apple Pie Roll-Ups (Print View)

Spiced apples wrapped in tortillas baked golden for a quick, delicious 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 - 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

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender and the juices become syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - Lay the tortillas flat. Spoon the cooked apple mixture evenly along one edge of each tortilla.
04 - Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Brush the tops of each roll-up with melted butter to ensure browning and flavor.
06 - Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the roll-ups.
07 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the roll-ups are golden brown and crisp.
08 - Allow the roll-ups to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for enhanced taste.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They taste like homemade apple pie but come together in under 30 minutes, no rolling pin required.
  • The spiced apples get syrupy and tender in a skillet while you're literally standing right there, so you know exactly when they're perfect.
  • That buttery, cinnamon-sugar crust gets golden and crackly in the oven, and the smell alone makes people think you've been cooking all day.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling step after cooking the apples—rolling them while too hot will make the tortillas soggy, and you'll lose that crispy texture you're after.
  • Melted butter brushed on top makes a huge difference. It's the difference between a roll-up that tastes fresh and one that tastes like it's been sitting since yesterday.
03 -
  • Keep tortillas wrapped in a kitchen towel while you work so they stay pliable and don't dry out.
  • If your apple filling is too juicy when you go to roll, spoon off a little liquid before filling—soggy tortillas won't crisp properly in the oven.
