You can take your apple pie fries to the next level with these extras: - Caramel sauce for drizzling - Chopped nuts for a crunch - Vanilla ice cream on the side These enhancements add flavor and texture, making your dish even more delightful. If you don’t have certain items, here are some swaps: - Use corn tortillas instead of flour for a gluten-free option. - Any sweet apple variety works, so feel free to choose your favorite. - Swap brown sugar with white sugar if needed. These substitutions help you customize this recipe based on what you have at home. First, gather all your ingredients. You will need two large flour tortillas and two medium apples. I like to use Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples for their sweet and tart taste. You also need brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. This mix adds flavor to the apples. Lastly, have melted butter and granulated sugar ready for the crust. 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Make sure you line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss them well to coat all the apple slices. 3. Lay the flour tortillas flat. Brush one side of each tortilla with melted butter. This helps them crisp up nicely. 4. Divide the apple mixture evenly between the two tortillas. Place it on the non-buttered side. 5. Fold the tortillas over to make a half-moon shape. Press down gently to seal them. 6. Brush the tops of the folded tortillas with the remaining melted butter. This adds more flavor. 7. In a separate bowl, mix granulated sugar and salt. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the buttered tortillas. 8. Cut each folded tortilla into strips about 1 inch wide. This makes them look like fries. 9. Place the strips on the prepared baking sheet. 10. Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes. Watch them turn golden brown and crispy. 11. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. To check if they are done, look for a golden brown color. The edges should be crispy. If you press lightly, they should feel firm. If they are soft, they need more time in the oven. Always keep an eye on them to avoid burning. Enjoy your tasty treat! To get that perfect crispy texture, use flour tortillas. These cook well and become crunchy. Brush each tortilla with melted butter before baking. This helps in getting that golden color and crisp. Make sure to cut the folded tortillas into strips.

Honeycrisp apples are also a great choice. They are sweet and juicy, adding a rich flavor. You can even mix different apples for a fun twist. Try using Fuji or Pink Lady apples for a sweeter bite. If you want to change the sweetness, there are many options. You can use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of brown sugar. These options add unique flavors while still being sweet. Honey is another choice. Just use a bit less since it's sweeter than sugar. For a low-calorie option, try using stevia or erythritol. These sweeteners keep the taste without the extra calories.
