Instructions

Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin pieces to ensure they cook quickly and blend well in the wraps.
Cook the Apple Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced apples, sprinkle with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender but still holding shape.
Thicken the Filling: Stir in vanilla extract and cornstarch, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes aromatic.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay tortillas flat and spoon the apple filling down the center, leaving space at the edges. Fold the bottom upwards, tuck in sides, and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
Cook the Wraps: In a clean skillet over medium heat, melt some butter. Place wraps seam-side down and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
Make the Brown Sugar Drizzle: Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over low heat, add brown sugar, and stir until bubbling and combined. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Keep warm.
Serve: Remove wraps from skillet, place on serving plate, drizzle generously with warm brown sugar sauce, dust with powdered sugar, and optionally sprinkle chopped pecans or raisins. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Use tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a balanced sweet-tart flavor.
Slice apples thinly to ensure they cook evenly and become tender without turning mushy.
Ensure the wraps are rolled tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
Optional pecans or raisins add a delightful texture contrast and extra sweetness.
Serve immediately as the wraps are best enjoyed warm with the melting brown sugar butter drizzle.
For a richer dessert, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on the side.
