What I did for this was use 2 cups of apple pie filling that I made from scratch. I just cored, peeled and chopped up a bunch of apples. Added some brown sugar and cinnamon and let it cook down until it was the consistency of apple pie filling. I don't think I would like this with commercial apple pie filling, but who knows.

Then I added the apples to about 1 1/2 cups of 4% cottage cheese and mixed those together. I only had large tortillas so I cut those in half, and that was a pain. Next time I will use the small tortillas and make enchiladas out of them instead of little burritos. I would double the sauce, then continue as per recipe. I sprinkled them with cinnamon sugar before I baked them.

You could do this with peaches, apricots, blueberries, etc. It will be fun to experiment with these. Everyone loved them!

This could be made ahead to the point of letting the sauce sit on the enchiladas, refrigerate, then bake. You would have to adjust the baking time since they would be cold.

Sorry if someone else posted this, I don't have any credits for it except Southern Living.

 
This reminds me of the "fried pies" we used to make at the taco stand: . . .

Get a small, fresh, burrito sized flour tortilla, fill it (like burrito full) with pie filling, roll, closing both ends, fry and then dust with powdered cinnamon sugar. Pretty good, and very flaky and crispy.

We used to deep fry these, but you could get nice results by brushing the rolled apple burrito with butter and baking and then rolling in cinnamon sugar.

Hmmm, maybe I will make some of these tomorrow, they're easy enough!
