# Components:

→ Apple Filling

01 - 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 - 3 tablespoons brown sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
06 - Pinch of salt
07 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice

→ Assembly

08 - 6 medium (8-inch) flour tortillas
09 - 6 tablespoons caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
10 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
11 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 - 2 tablespoons melted butter

# Method:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the mixture has become syrupy, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
03 - In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
04 - Lay out the tortillas. Spread 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce evenly in the center of each tortilla. Divide the cooked apple mixture among the tortillas, placing it over the caramel sauce.
05 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll them up tightly to enclose the filling.
06 - Brush the exterior of each wrap with the melted butter. Sprinkle generously with the prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture.
07 - Place the prepared wraps seam-side down on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the wraps are golden brown and slightly crisp.
08 - Allow the wraps to cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce before serving.
