FOR THE APPLES:
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
2-1/4 pounds Apples, Peeled, Cored, Cut Into 1/2-inch Pieces
1-1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1-1/2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
FOR THE TORTILLAS:
5 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
6 whole Eight-inch Flour Tortillas
3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
1/2 cups Chopped Pecans
FOR SERVING:
Caramel Ice Cream Topping, Warmed
1/4 cups Chopped Pecans

1
Preheat oven to 325u00b0F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
2
For the apples, heat butter and both of the sugars in a medium-sized pot or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When mixture is melted and bubbling, add apples and cinnamon to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender but still hold their shape, 13-14 minutes. Transfer apple mixture to rimmed baking sheet to cool for about 30 minutes.
3
Once apples are cooled, drain in a sieve placed over a medium-sized bowl. Mix lemon juice with the drained apple juice.
4
Meanwhile, prepare the tortillas. In a small bowl, combine sugar with cinnamon. Brush each tortilla with melted butter. Liberally cover each tortilla with the cinnamon/sugar mixture, evenly divided. Use fingers to spread mixture over tortilla surface.
5
Flip tortilla over so that the cinnamon-sugar side is facing down. Spoon 1/2 cup of the drained cooked apples onto the tortilla, concentrating the apples at one end of the tortilla. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the reserved apple juice over the apples and sprinkle with 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of chopped pecans. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, and begin rolling the tortilla from the end containing the apples. Place tortilla, seam-side down, on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
6
Bake 10 minutes at 325u00b0F. Immediately top with desired amount of caramel sauce and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Serve warm.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
