# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in half an hour with ingredients you probably have in the pantry right now
  • The tortillas get beautifully crisp while staying tender inside, like a portable pie you can eat with your hands
  • Perfect for those nights when you want something sweet but cannot commit to a full baking project
02 -
  • Let the apple filling cool for a few minutes before wrapping, or the tortillas will get soggy and tear apart
  • Roll tightly but not so tight that the tortilla rips, think snug burrito not overstuffed taquito
  • The sugar coating can burn easily, so check at 10 minutes if your oven runs hot
03 -
  • Use an ice cream scoop to portion the filling evenly so some roll ups are not overflowing while others look empty
  • If the tortillas are stiff, microwave them for 15 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel to make them pliable
