Easy Tortilla Apple Pie Recipe

Fall is the time for apples and pears. You can easily make a pie using either fruit. You can add some berries, raisins, dried cranberries, even nuts to add some other flavors and textures.

4 Granny Smith apples (or the equivalent of your favorite apple variety)

1 tablespoon butter plus more for the tortillas

¼ cup sugar (or to taste, depending on how sweet the apple is)

1 ½ tablespoons flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon allspice

¼ cup apple juice or water, as needed

Flour tortillas (6-inch size)

Powdered sugar and cinnamon for garnish, if desired

Peel and core the apples. Cut them into ¼-inch slices. Toss the apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, allspice. In a pan, melt the 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add the apples and cook for about 5 minutes, or until soft. While the apples cook down, if it looks like you need a little more moisture, add the ¼ cup water or juice. When the apples are soft (but not mushy) and thickened, remove from heat. Set aside.

Fill each tortilla with some of the apple mixture and fold in half like a taco. In a skillet, melt a little butter over medium heat. Add the pie and brown on each side, about 1-2 minutes per side, depending on how hot your pan is. Dust with powdered sugar and cinnamon, if desired.
