Apple Enchiladas

 
For my son,  Mike's,  New Year's Eve birthday dinner, I had a Mexican theme for the family.  I was telling my friend Bea about the menu and she told me that she had a great Mexican inspired dessert.  She sent me the recipe and oh my goodness, is it ever fabulous!  We were so full after the meal, that we all could only eat a small portion.

 
I love using my snowflake dishes during the month of January.  I bought these at Kroger, several years ago.  The Brown Betty Sadler teapot is a recent Ebay purchase and I love the simplicity of the design and function.  
Luckily for me, there were leftovers of the apple enchiladas to enjoy.  I happen to think that they were even better when reheated in the microwave.  I'm having half of one with a cup of salted caramel tea.  They are wonderful with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream on top, and the sauce is lick-the-plate  I can't wait to make these again and I hope you'll try them soon. 

Here's the recipe:

1 21 ounce can apple pie filling
6 8 inch flour tortillas
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup water

Spoon filling down the center of each tortilla; sprinkle evenly with cinnamon.  Roll up and place seam side down in a lightly greased 2 qt. baking dish.

Bring butter and next 3 ingredients to a boil in a medium sized saucepan.  Reduce heat and simmer, stirring for 3 minutes. Pour over enchiladas and let stand  for 30 minutes. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  

 

I made another snowy scene with a darling candle that my grandson, Riley, gave me for Christmas.  This time I used some Epsom salts for the snow and put the candle under a cloche.  It's nestled in my wooden salad bowl with pine cones and my battery operated lights.  I just love it!

I am sharing this with:
Make It Pretty Monday 

Thank you for your visit!  xo

    YUM!! This is definitely going on my list of desserts to try :) I see that the recipe calls for canned apples - do you think I could use fresh apples if I let them sit for a bit to create a juice/syrup?

    Your snow scene is beautiful and ever so enchanting :) Happy Monday, my friend! Hugs!

    I never think to use tortillas in a dessert--what a brilliant idea. I adore your vignette under glass. It's like a perfect world in miniature.

    Ooohh... my husband would love these for sure! I really must give them a try, Kitty. I'll let you know what he thinks of them. He is the best to cook for, especially desserts. :)
    Your candle that your grandson gave you is darling and I love what you did with it.
    Many times Kroger has some great finds in their seasonal isles, don't they?

    Have a wonderful day!

    Your centerpiece is really cute, Kitty. Epsom salts make the best snow! Those apple enchiladas look so yummy and I really enjoy a warm saucy dessert this time of year. Your snowflake dishes are so pretty and perfect for the winter months. Happy Birthday to Mike! And you had asked me when mine was; New Year's Day. Thank you for joining me for Tea Time and have a delightful week, my friend.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    I don't know what I'm in love with more...those Apple Enchiladas, the darling teapot or your *candle-light* (pun intended) arrangement, Kitty! All of them are delightful!

    My Mom had a mini Brown Betty, made for just one cup of tea & perhaps a wee bit leftover just to "hotten" your cup later on. She ALWAYS brought it to us on a tray with some saltine crackers when we were sick. I don't think I ever had tea in it unless I was sick. I sure wish I knew what happened to that little pot!!
    Thanks for the recipe & for jogging that sweet memory.

    Happy New Year, dearest Kitty! That apple enchilada has me drooling, as I am here trying to lose a few holiday pounds. Love your dishes from Krogers, and it is nice to have something special to use after Christmas is put away. The little candle is so sweet, and you have given it a very pretty home. I must get some of those battery-operated lights, very convenient!
    Have a good week, Kitty. (did you know it's Hello Kitty's 40th anniversary?? I thought of you when I read that)

    Your table setting looks so welcoming and cozy - perfect for January days. The apple enchilada recipe makes my mouth water, but the idea of a salted caramel tea really has me interested. Did you buy it or make it?
    Have a good week.

    Apple enchiladas ... wow! I thought cheese was my favorite filling, but apples make my mouth water just thinking about it! I love seeing your snowflake dishes and there's nothing better than a brown betty - sadler teapot! Happy Tea Day, Kitty and a Happy New Year!

    This dessert would be like a rolled apple pie without the calories of pastry I think - great idea! Our youngest grandson makes a Nutella wrap every morning for his breakfast with tortillas.
    The cloche looks nice using epsom salts for snow, I did that last year and then used the salts around the rose bushes in spring.
    Wishing you joy in this new year Kitty.
