Description
A delicious dessert made with caramelized apples and cream cheese, wrapped in a crispy tortilla.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large tart apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg or allspice (optional)
- 4 ounces cream cheese or mascarpone
- 4 medium flour tortillas
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon (plus nutmeg and vanilla if using). Cook for 6–8 minutes until apples are softened and caramelized. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Lay flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spread cream cheese or mascarpone over one half of each tortilla.
- Spoon the warm apple mixture over the cream cheese. Fold the tortillas in half and press gently to seal.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Toast each folded tortilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp. Use a spatula to gently press down as they cook.
- Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve warm. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup.
Notes
- These can be enjoyed warm or cold, and are perfect for dessert or a sweet snack.
- Try adding nuts or raisins for extra texture.
