Ingredients
Apples – of course, they are the star of this show. I like to use Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples, but you can use any variety.
Tortillas – I use flour tortillas for this recipe, but you could use whole-wheat if you wish.
Syrup - I like to use maple syrup because that is what I usually have on hand. It is what gives the apples their caramel flavor.
