- Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F, setting the stage for the deliciousness to come.
- Take a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and give it a generous buttery embrace, ensuring nothing sticks.

- Gently roll up the tortillas, securing the apple-filled goodness inside, and place them seam side down in your awaiting baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, conjure a potion by bringing together the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and water. Bring this enchanting mixture to a bubbling boil.
- With the wisdom of patience, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. The aroma will start to cast its spell.
- Pour this bewitching sauce over your enchiladas, and if you desire an extra touch of cinnamon magic, sprinkle some on top.
- Let this enchanted creation stand for 45 minutes, allowing the flavors to harmonize.
- Now, it’s time for the final act. Place your baking dish in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the enchiladas turn a golden hue.
