Cinnamon Fried Apple Sticks Recipe
This recipe was featured in Better Homes and Gardens. When I was asked to create a recipe using Mission Tortillas my mind was racing with ideas. However, I wanted to do something sweet and savory, not your average wrap or burrito that you think about when someone mentions tortillas. Nothing says American like apples, so the Cinnamon Sugar Fried Apple Sticks were born in the Shibley Smiles kitchen.
Cinnamon Fried Apple Sticks Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ can fried apples or apple pie filling
- 1 cup sugar
- cinnamon to taste
- ½ stick butter approx
Instructions
- Turn broiler on to preheat
- Prepare cinnamon & sugar mixture: Pour cup of sugar onto a plate (or in a bag) and sprinkle cinnamon to your liking. Mix sugar and cinnamon together
- Chop or cut up fried apples into tiny squares. If using pie filling try to use more apples and less sauce
- Cut the tortilla into a large square removing excess tortilla
- Cut large square into 4 individual squares
- Microwave squares (the microwave softens the tortilla making it easier to roll and helps the butter melt)
- Butter one square and flip it over
- Place a small line of apples on the tortilla square.
- Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon & sugar mixture over the apples
- Roll up apple mixture in tortilla
- Roll tortilla in cinnamon & sugar mixture (the butter should cause the mixture to stick)
- Place sticks on a greased cooking sheet.
- Broil until just starting to crisp. 3-5 minutes

These sweet delights have become a staple at our family gatherings. I am asked to bring them to parties and work gatherings as they are sweetness that melts in your mouth. They are very easy to make and are just the right touch of goodness to delight your taste buds. Your whole family will enjoy the twist of traditional cinnamon toast paired with juicy apples.
You can go a step further and create your own apple filling, but I must admit I find it easier sometimes to take the shortcut and just purchase a can of apple pie filling. It cuts down on the time to create these sweet treats leaving you more time to spend with your family and friends. We hope you enjoy these Cinnamon Sugar Fried Apple Sticks.
