Apples Rolled in Flour Tortillas
Ingredients:

  • 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Fuji work well), peeled, cored, and sliced thinly
  • 4 low-carb or light flour tortillas (look for tortillas with 1 point each, such as Ole Xtreme Wellness wraps)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp stevia or any zero-calorie sweetener
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce (optional for moisture)
  • Non-stick cooking spray (0 points)
  • 1 tbsp butter or light butter (can substitute with 1-2 sprays of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter for fewer points)
  • 1-2 tbsp sugar-free caramel syrup (optional topping)
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free vanilla ice cream (2 points per serving)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the apples: In a medium bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with cinnamon and stevia (or other sweetener). For a juicier filling, mix in 1 tablespoon of unsweetened applesauce.
  3. Fill the tortillas: Place a portion of the cinnamon apple mixture in the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll up the tortilla tightly like a burrito.
  4. Bake: Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the baking dish. Lightly spray the tops with non-stick spray or brush with a small amount of melted light butter (to keep points lower, use a butter-flavored spray).
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve: Drizzle with sugar-free caramel syrup if desired, and serve with a small scoop (about 2 tbsp) of sugar-free vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

  • Tortilla substitutes: Using a low-carb or low-point tortilla (like the ones mentioned) helps keep the points low. If you can’t find these, use a half tortilla for smaller portions and fewer points.
  • Filling options: Peaches or cherries are great substitutes. Frozen fruits can be used but should be thawed and drained before filling the tortillas.
  • Butter alternatives: The light butter or a butter-flavored spray adds a nice crunch, but if you want to make this lighter, skip the butter altogether and stick with non-stick spray.
  • Ice cream alternatives: You can also use Greek yogurt or a fat-free whipped topping instead of ice cream to lower points further.

Benefits:

  • Low in points: This dessert is only 2 points per serving, making it a guilt-free treat on Weight Watchers.
  • High in fiber: Using apples and low-carb tortillas adds fiber, which helps with digestion and keeps you feeling full.
  • Customizable: Swap apples for other fruits like peaches or cherries to enjoy different flavors while keeping the points low.

This Apples Rolled in Flour Tortillas recipe is an excellent way to enjoy a quick, delicious dessert that fits within your Weight Watchers points.
