WW Apple Enchilada Dessert

WW Apple Enchilada Dessert is a light, comforting dessert that is both good to taste and still fits into your weight-watching program. The recipe takes soft tortillas, stuffed with hot and spicy apples, and then baked until they are golden with a thin layer of sweet glaze. It is like apple pie, but there is no heavy crust and extra sugar. It is honey sweet, creamy, and a little crunchy on the sides. The combination of cinnamon and apples and the thin tortilla gives each bite a warm hug. It is easy to cook, which is its most satisfying feature. It is a speedy preparation, and it is appealing when eaten warm using a spoon of yogurt or a drizzle of caramel sauce. WW Apple Enchilada Dessert demonstrates that you can eat dessert and still be on track.

INGREDIENT NOTES

Apples:

  • Choose Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. They are also solid and have a nice, sweet-tart taste.

Cinnamon:

  • Adds warmth and the classic apple pie taste. Lounge a Swedish nutmeg to taste.

Brown sugar:

  • Even a bit of sweetness caramelizes. Another sweetener can be used to have fewer calories.

Tortillas:

  • The dish is light because of low-carb or whole-wheat tortillas. They bake to a golden crisp shell.

Vanilla extract:

  • Gives it scent and smooths out the apple filling.

Applesauce glaze:

  • Brush it on top for moisture and shine. It prevents the drying of tortillas.

Honey or syrup:

  • A drizzle is enough to make it sweeter without exceeding it.

FAQS

May I use canned apples or pie filling?

  • Yes. Use low-calorie or low-sugar. Fresh apples are better in taste and maintain their lightness.

Can I replace flour with corn tortillas?

  • Yes, but it won’t be as smooth. Tortillas made of flour feel softer, like pastry.

May I make this ahead of time?

  • Yes. Prepare the enchilada and store it in the fridge. Wipe glaze over before baking.

What shall I have with this dessert?

  • Light whipped cream, fat-free yogurt, or a drizzle of sugar-free caramel are wonderful toppings.
