# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in 30 minutes flat, which means you can satisfy a dessert craving faster than you can find a baking sheet.
  • They taste like you spent hours on them, but the secret is that tortillas do half the work.
  • Naturally vegetarian and adaptable enough to work with whatever fruit you've got hanging around.
02 -
  • Don't skip cooling the apple filling slightly, or the heat will make your tortilla soggy before it even hits the oven.
  • Overflowing filling is your enemy, not your friend, so trust that less is actually more when you're rolling these up.
  • The seam-side down placement is non-negotiable if you want them to stay intact and look intentional rather than accidents waiting to happen.
03 -
  • Room-temperature tortillas roll more smoothly than cold ones, so pull them out about 10 minutes before assembly.
  • The butter brush is your secret weapon for that golden, almost caramelized top that makes people think you're a dessert expert.
