Ingredients

  • 1 can (16.5 oz) apple pie filling, divided
  • •12 oz (1 1/2 cups) brick-style plain cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  6. Arrange coated tortillas in foil holder. In batches, cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden and crisp. Let cool completely.
  7. Pipe each tortilla with 2 to 3 tbsp of cheesecake filling. Top with remaining chopped apple pie filling.

 

NOTES: 

For a seasonal flavor, substitute apple pie filling with any prepared pie filling, such as cherry, blueberry or even lemon.

If you can’t find apple pie spice, substitute with pumpkin pie spice.
