Apple Flautas
Apple Flautas

Warm and delicious…nothing beats a flauta!  And they can also be made on a gas BBQ grill–great for an outdoor party dessert.  Not bad calorie-wise either (if you can stop at one).

I’ve always been intrigued by these ever since a neighbor gave me a bag of some from Schwan’s a few years ago.  I kept meaning to make them, but at that time, I rarely bought tortillas.

Now that I’m into tortillas, I usually have them hanging around, and I just happened to have a few of the smaller 6-inch ones left over from a Cinco de Mayo dish I was making.

I didn’t bother with fresh apples since I have several cans of apple pie filling…that’s really all you are making when you start with raw apples.  However, I did “fry” the apples in a little browned butter and leftover cinnamon sugar.

The result was amazingly delicious–despite the filling was the sugar-free variety.  I figured since I saved SO many calories, I’d eat TWO of these LOL.  With extra caramel sauce of course.  You can also use dulce de leche in place of the caramel for a drizzle.
