The making of: Apple Pie Tortilla Cups

One of the things I love most about this recipe is how approachable it is. Flour tortillas transform into crisp, golden-brown shells that cradle a homemade cinnamon-rosemary apple filling, creating a delightful contrast between the crunchy exterior and the soft, spiced apples. Best of all, this dessert comes together effortlessly with a handful of simple ingredients: small flour tortillas, your favorite apples (Gala or Honeycrisp work best), brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vegan butter and a touch of rosemary for freshness. For an extra treat, top them off with vegan whipped cream, caramel sauce, or chopped nuts—because a little indulgence goes a long way.

This recipe is proof that you don’t need to spend hours in the kitchen to create something memorable. Each bite of these Apple Pie Tortilla Cups delivers the nostalgia of a classic dessert with a modern, quick-to-make twist. I hope you give them a try and find as much joy in making (and eating) them as I do.

Notes:

• For a gluten-free recipe, use gluten-free flour tortillas. I wouldn’t recommend using corn tortillas as they won’t hold their shape.

2. Spoon the apple filling into each cup until about ¾ full. 
3. Top with your favorite finishing touch, such as coconut whipped cream, and ENJOY!
