Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apricots, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Gently toss until the apricots are evenly coated.
- Lay each flour tortilla flat. Place a generous spoonful of the apricot mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, ensuring to tuck in the sides, and place it seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, oats, brown sugar, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix well until the mixture resembles a crumbly topping.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish, ensuring an even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the enchiladas are golden and the oat topping is crispy and fragrant.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, generously topped with vanilla ice cream.
Tips
- For added depth of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the apricot filling.
- Feel free to substitute fresh apricots with canned or frozen ones if they're out of season, just be sure to drain any excess liquid.
