Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Mix Apple Filling: In a bowl, mix the apple pie filling with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Fill Tortillas: Spoon about 1/3 cup of the apple mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up tightly like an enchilada and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Prepare Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Add Sauce and Bake: Pour the sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the tortillas are golden.
Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with caramel sauce and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Notes

For added crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans inside the enchiladas or on top before baking.
These reheat well and make a great make-ahead dessert.
