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??

So on this day I served thick charcoal-grilled ham slices, steamed carrots with butter & fresh rosemary and a serving of coleslaw. 

The grilled ham slices were simply pulled from the freezer & the steamed carrots were remaining from yesterday’s meal and the coleslaw was already in the fridge. So a delicious homemade supper was on the table in a flash.

But when I take so many shortcuts for one meal 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 little 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.

I think they would be even more delicious and certainly company-worthy with an added dollop of cool whip or Homemade Whipped Cream.
