Tips & Substitutions
For a fun twist, try using different pie fillings like blueberry or strawberry to switch up the flavors. If you prefer a healthier option, consider using whole wheat tortillas. Ensure the tortillas are warm before rolling for easier handling. You can also use a Baking Mix to make a quick and easy topping instead of the sugar mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious roll-ups warm, drizzled with the sugar mixture and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. They pair beautifully with Aunt Joy'S Quick Fruit Salad for a refreshing contrast. For extra flair, sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the tortillas tough.
