# 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

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and juices thicken. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - Lay tortillas flat and spoon the apple mixture evenly along one edge of each tortilla.
04 - Roll tortillas 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.
06 - Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the tops of the roll-ups.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
08 - Allow roll-ups to cool slightly before serving warm, optionally accompanied by vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Done in under 30 minutes, which means dessert when inspiration strikes at dinner time.
  • That crispy exterior gives way to soft, spiced apple filling—the contrast is addictive.
  • Uses ingredients most of us have on hand, so no special trip to the store required.
02 -
  • Don't skip cooling the apple filling—hot filling will make the tortilla soggy if you roll immediately.
  • Seam-side down matters because it keeps the filling contained and helps the roll-up stay together while baking.
  • The cinnamon-sugar coating is your crispy guarantee, so don't be shy with it.
03 -
  • Room-temperature tortillas are less likely to crack—wrap them in a warm damp towel for 30 seconds if they're stiff.
  • A pastry brush makes the butter coating even, but your fingers work too if you don't have one.
  • These can be assembled a few hours ahead and refrigerated, then baked fresh just before serving.
