FAQs

Can fresh apples be used instead of canned filling?

  • Yes, you can use firm and sweet apples. We will peel and chop them before preparing enchilada rolls. After peeling, sauté them with spices and sweetener until softened. In this way, we will regulate the overall amount of sugar.

How is the pie flavor accomplished without a conventional crust?

  • The traditional apple pie flavor is derived from the cooked apples, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Additionally, the warm and tender tortilla adds a cozy touch.

Which tortillas are commonly used to prepare these enchiladas?

  • Small flour tortillas are commonly used. Some people choose whole wheat tortillas because they have more fiber and are suitable for Weight Watchers.
