Maybe you think that tortillas are only for savory recipes but that is definitely not the case. Just take a look at this recipe. Tortillas are so easy to work into a sweet dessert. So, are you ready to learn how you can make apple pie tortilla dessert cups? Let’s get started!

What You Need For This Recipe

It is really easy to make apple pie tortilla dessert boats. The only thing that takes a little more time is the apple pie filling. You need the following ingredients:

Tortillas – small tortillas
Sugar – granulated sugar
Cinnamon
Butter – you can use plant-based butter or regular butter
Banana – use a large banana
Raisins – to add sweetness
Filling – use homemade Apple pie filling

Note that the full ingredients list, including measurements, can be found in the recipe card below.

How To Make Apple Pie Tortilla Dessert Cups

To make this tortilla dessert recipe, start by melting the butter and brush it onto both sides of the tortillas. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a mixing bowl and stir well.
Coat both sides of the tortillas with the sugar-cinnamon mix. You can sprinkle it on the flour tortillas or you can put the mix on a plate and rub the tortillas through the sugar-cinnamon mix.
Stack the tortillas and cut them into 4 wedges. Take a muffin pan and press the round edge of a tortilla wedge into the bottom of a muffin cup.
Place a second tortilla wedge in the muffin cup letting the tortilla wedges overlap slightly. The result should look like a small boat. Add one spoonful of apple pie filling to a dessert cup and repeat 5 more times.
Sprinkle some raisins on top of the dessert cups. Then preheat the oven to 420℉/210℃ and bake for 15 minutes.
Thinly slice a banana and decorate the apple pie tortilla dessert cups with 4 slices of banana. You are ready to serve.

Tortilla Dessert Recipe

As flour tortillas are made with flour, water, and some salt (oil optional) you can easily turn a tortilla into a sweet dessert. Tortillas take on sweet flavors well.

A tortilla doesn’t have a very strong flavor and doesn’t contain savory ingredients so you can easily turn it sweet well. This recipe is made with just a few ingredients and lets you turn tortillas into a great dessert.

If you like this sweet tortilla recipe you can also try apple tortilla bites. What I like so much about this recipe is that these apple pie tortilla dessert cups are such a fun way to present your dessert.
