Sunday September 22 was the first day of fall, so I thought it would be fitting to have it be APPLE Week here at RMK! Apples are one of the first things I think of when I think of fall. Â I even recall going to an apple orchard as a child and getting to pick and gather apples. Then we would come home with boxes of apples. We would eat them plain. However, my mom would always make some amazing apple treats with them like apple muffins or apple pie! The rest of this week’s recipes will all involve apples in some way. This first one is for easy apple enchiladas.
These apple enchiladas don’t utilize fresh apples but uses pie filling. You can use filling from a can or your own homemade pie filling. This makes prep time simple and they can also be enjoyed at anytime of year, but I think they are especially tasty to eat in the fall season. I can’t wait to share the other recipes that I have planned for you this week!

these were delicious. thanks for posting
these were delicious. thanks for sharing.
“Real Mom”, Why do you call this recipe “Apple ENCHILADA”? An enchilada refers to a dish prepared in chili. Call it what it is, which is baked apples in a flour tortilla…. which resembles more of a sweet burrito and nothing like an “Enchilada”….

Gosh that sounds delicious!!! It doesn’t feel like Fall quite yet here in the South but I’m hoping apple treats gets me in the mood anyway! thanks for sharing!!
Can you do this with real apples too?
She won’t respond to your questions.
Laura C. You would need to cook them down to make them more like the apple pie filling.
