Ingredients

For the caramel sauce

½ cup coconut cream
¼ cup coconut sugar
¼ tsp sea salt

For the apple filling

3 cups granny smith apple chopped (see notes)
½ cup water
2 tbsp coconut sugar divided
½ tsp cinnamon
Juice of half a lemon
½ tsp arrowroot starch

For the roll-ups

1 tbsp ghee melted (sub coconut oil for AIP)
2 tsp coconut sugar
6 grain-free tortillas I used Siete Almond Flour tortillas, sub homemade cassava tortillas for AIP
¼ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

For the caramel sauce

Combine the coconut cream, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat and stir to combine. Bring to a low boil, and reduce to a low simmer, stirring often. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the caramel is reduced and browned.
Set aside, and reheat if needed when you're ready to serve.

For the roll-ups

Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper
Combine the apple, water, lemon juice, 2 tbsp coconut sugar, and cinnamon using a saucepan. Set over medium heat. Stir to combine and simmer for 6-8 minutes (stirring often) or until the apples soften.
Combine the arrowroot starch with a small splash of water and whisk well. Pour the mixture into the saucepan with the apples, stir well, and turn off the heat. This will help to hold the apple filling together and absorb excess liquid. Set aside.
Combine the ghee and 2 tsp coconut sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat the tortillas for about 10 seconds to make them more pliable. Spoon 2 large spoonfuls of the apple mixture into a tortilla. Roll into a tight roll-up and transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat with all of the tortillas.
Lightly brush all sides of the tortilla with the melted ghee mixture and bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes or until crisp. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Drizzle with caramel sauce, and serve extra on the side for dipping!

Notes

Granny Smith apples have a nice tart flavor, but you can also use gala or honey crisp apples if you'd like something sweeter.

Caramel sauce tends to set if it sits too long. If you have leftovers or it sets while you're cooking the rest of the recipe, simply reheat it for a minute or two!
