Apple Wraps

If you love apple pie, then these apple wraps are the dessert for you. They pack all the flavor of apple pie into soft flour tortillas for a new take on an old favorite.

I love homemade apple pie. It's a classic dessert, and it's been one of my favorites for years. However, just because something is great doesn't mean you can't play with it. I love doing new things with old favorites, and that's exactly what I did with these delicious apple wraps.

Growing up, apple pie was frequently on the table at my house. My mom was a big fan, which is probably why I'm such a big fan! I never lost my love for baked apples and this version of apple pie rolled in a tortilla made me fall even more in love with the flavor, and I think it will do the same for you.
