Cinnamon Apple Flautas With Caramel Sauce

Cinnamon Apple Flautas With Caramel Sauce

3 tablespoons sugar, divided

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 tablespoons butter

6 flour tortillas (6-inch, fajita size)

3 Washington Fuji apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup Marzetti’s Caramel Apple Dip

Whipped cream

Heat oven to 325°F. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon; set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet. Brush butter on one side of each tortilla; sprinkle each buttered side with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon-sugar mixture. Turn tortillas over and repeat buttering and sprinkling. Reserve remaining butter in skillet.

Place tortillas on an ungreased baking sheet and place in oven just to warm – about 1 minute. Remove from oven and roll the tortillas loosely to make tubes; place seam side down on baking sheet. Return tortillas to oven and bake just until lightly browned on underside and a bit crisp – 6 to 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, in remaining butter in skillet, saute apples and remaining tablespoon sugar over high heat until lightly browned and tender – about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.

To serve, spoon warm apples into tortillas. Warm the caramel mixture in the microwave 15 seconds; stir and microwave another 15 seconds. Drizzle caramel over flautas and top with a dollop of whipped cream.
