Ingredients

4 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji), peeled and diced
6 flour tortillas (8-inch)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp white sugar
½ cup butter
½ cup brown sugar (packed)
½ cup white sugar
½ cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: chopped pecans, caramel sauce, or whipped cream for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.
In a bowl, mix diced apples with cinnamon and 2 tbsp white sugar.
Spoon the apple mixture evenly onto the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar, remaining white sugar, water, and vanilla extract. Stir and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer 3–5 minutes.
Pour the sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas.
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until sauce is bubbling and tortillas are slightly golden.
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Optional: Top with caramel drizzle, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
