Warm up with apple-pecan wraps

Brr! With the weather outside turning a wee bit frightful, we’re warming up with this twist on the classic apple turnover. Serve up the best that autumn has to offer—apples of course!—ala mode with a warm flour tortilla. Yum-o-licious.

 

Ingredients:

 

¼ cup butter, divided

2 apples, diced

¼ cup of pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

½ cup of halved pecans

4 6- or 8-inch flour tortillas

Vanilla ice cream (optional)

 

Apple connoisseur and 400 Best Sandwich Recipes author Alison Lewis uses Braeburn apples in this recipe, but says Granny Smith or Gala apples work well, too.

 

Directions:

 

1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat until melted. Add the apples, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until tender. Stir in pecans and cook for 2 minutes more or until heated through.

 

2. In a separate skillet, heat remaining butter over low heat. Add tortillas, one at a time, and heat, turning once, for 2 minutes or until lightly browned.

 

3. Place tortillas on a work surface. Divide apple mixture equally and place in the center of the tortillas. Top with ice cream. Fold ends over filling, roll up and serve.
