I got a nice bag of local apples, and there were corn tortillas on sale,
the smaller ones. What kind of fruity dessert could you make from these?
I saw a recipe where the tortillas were baked to crisp them with brown
sugar sprinkled on top, I'd guess cinnamon would be good, too. Maybe if
they were crisped in muffin tins to create bowls? If you were to make
something like this, what else would you add? I don't often eat dessert
so something made as a healthful treat would be nice.

Sounds like you've already got a pretty good handle on it. I'd probably cut
the tortillas into wedges, bake with cinnamon sugar until crisp, and use
them as scoops for an apple-raisin compote. Like chips and salsa, only for
dessert. Don't think for one minute that it's HEALTHY, though, those
tortillas probably have a goodly share of carbs and fat.

Scoops! What a fun idea, thanks!

i would either put them in a muffin tin to make them a bit sturdier and then
slice and fill with apples cinnamon nutmeg and a slice of cheese on top,
bake just long enough to soften the apples and melt the cheese, Lee

I used to work with a lady who would bring in something similar to a
chimichanga filled with apple pie filling.

sautee' sliced apples wth butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg. push
to side of skillet; briefly warm tortilla. sprinkle with shredded
colby cheese and scoop apples onto cheese. fold in half and melt
cheese, crisp tortilla slightly. serve with whipped cream or ice
cream, or by itself, or with hot apple cider with spices and a shot of
rum.

I'd omit the tortilla and eat that with a spoon.

Flour tortillas, apple or pear slices, sliced Gruyère cheese. Add this
to a flour tortilla and drizzle with honey, roll up the tortilla and
bake at 325 (F) for 20-30 minutes.
