When you need a quick dessert, these baked apple pie tortilla rolls are fast and absolutely delicious.

And here’s the kicker – there’s no recipe needed. Yep, they’re really that easy to make! Check it out. 

A Simple Meal Deserves Dessert!

Almost all of our meals are cooked from scratch. But sometimes off-the-homestead commitments result in me being unprepared for supper.

However in all honesty since I use the cook-once, eat-twice method of cooking, I almost always have a main dish in the freezer for such occasions. That way a delicious homemade supper can be on the table fast.

And really, isn’t that always the goal??

But when I take so many shortcuts our meals I typically try to make a dessert for that handsome man of mine to make up for the simple offerings.

But ya know, it doesn’t help to make a quick supper if dessert takes lots of time. I still needed a quick dessert option, y’all.

Hey, I know, I’ll use some homemade apple pie filling & a few tortillas to make baked apple pie tortilla rolls!

Y’all are not gonna believe how simple this is, yet it’s delicious.

Baked Apple Pie Tortilla Rolls – No Recipe Needed!

Here’s the most beautiful part – there’s really no recipe to follow! The short version:

• • • Roll apple pie filling into flour tortillas
    • Sprinkle cinnamon & sugar
    • Drizzle with melted butter
    • Bake for about 15-20 minutes

Yep, it’s really that easy!

But here are more specifics. First I preheated the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then I pulled out a jar of my homemade apple pie filling & a few lightly-heated tortillas. Heating them quickly in the microwave made them much easier to roll.

I spooned apple pie filling onto the edge of the tortillas & rolled them up. They were laid in a small baking pan with the seam side down. To top them I sprinkled a little cinnamon/sugar mixture on them.

Then I poured melted butter all over them and baked them uncovered for 15 minutes.

If you want to keep them soft end-to-end you can cover them. But I wanted a lightly crispy texture to the end of the tortillas. So I left mine uncovered.

They were really good though. A simple, quick, delicious spur-of-the-moment dessert with no recipe needed. 

And c’mon, who wouldn’t love that? No pulling out a recipe book or dealing with measuring spoons, several ingredients and such. Just assemble it and bake! Sometimes the simplest things really are the best.

Other Flavors For Tortilla Rolls

Sometimes I don’t have apple pie filling in the pantry, but I do have canned fruit in syrup.

I’ve made these tortilla rolls using Canned Peaches Made Into Pie Filling

I’d think you could use any canned fruit in the same way. So look in your pantry if you don’t have pie filling, you can probably find a tasty substitute.

I’ve also made Cherry Pie Tortilla Rolls and they were delicious. If you don’t have cherry pie filling you can easily make Cherry Pie Filling Made With Dried or Canned Cherries.

Lots of options, y’all!

Tortilla Roll Dessert: Topping or Not?

We most often enjoy these simple tortilla rolls just as they are with their cinnamon/sugar/buttery deliciousness.

But I think these tortilla rolls would be even more decadent and company-worthy with an added dollop of cool whip or Homemade Whipped Cream.

Whatever flavor you like and however you and your family enjoy it, give it a try. Dessert really doesn’t get any easier than this!
