1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Sauce

113 g unsalted butter

100 g granulated white sugar

# Instructions:
01 -
Place about 60 ml of apple pie filling down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle evenly with ground cinnamon, then roll up tightly, tucking in the edges. Arrange each enchilada seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
02 -
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and water. Stir constantly until boiling, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
03 -
Pour the sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish. Let stand at room temperature for 45 minutes to allow the tortillas to absorb the sauce and develop a pastry-like texture.

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Bake enchiladas for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and caramelized.

Allowing the enchiladas to rest before baking is key to mimicking a flaky pastry texture.
