Apple Pie Roll-Ups (Printable)

Spiced apples wrapped in tortillas baked golden for a quick and tasty sweet treat.

# Required Ingredients:

→ 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
09 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples soften and juices are syrupy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - Lay the flour tortillas flat. Evenly spoon the cooked apple mixture along one edge of each tortilla.
04 - Roll tortillas tightly around the apple filling. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Brush the tops of each roll-up with melted butter to promote browning.
06 - Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture generously over each roll-up.
07 - Bake the roll-ups in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until golden and crisp.
08 - Allow roll-ups to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as is or accompanied by vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Ready from kitchen to table in 30 minutes—no rolling out dough or waiting for yeast.
  • Tastes like dessert but feels simple enough to make on a weeknight without stress.
  • Crispy edges with soft, cinnamon-spiced apples that remind you why apple pie matters.
02 -
  • Don't skip cooling the apple filling slightly—hot filling makes tortillas soggy and increases the chance they'll tear or unroll.
  • Cinnamon-sugar goes on top after butter, not before, or it'll burn and taste bitter instead of sweet.
03 -
  • If your tortillas are on the thicker, drier side, warm them briefly in a dry skillet first so they're pliable and won't crack when you roll them.
  • Brush the butter on while the roll-ups are still hot from assembly—it adheres better and the cinnamon sugar sticks more evenly.
