  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Enchiladas:

  • 10-12 flour tortillas (8-inch size)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Whipped Cream Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preparing the Peach Filling:

  1. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated. Set aside to allow the mixture to macerate.

Assembling the Enchiladas:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish and set aside.
  2. Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side to make them pliable.
  3. Spoon a generous portion of the peach filling into the center of each tortilla.
  4. Roll the tortillas around the peach filling, placing them seam side down in the prepared baking dish.

Coating the Enchiladas:

  1. Brush the melted butter over the tops of the rolled enchiladas.
  2. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the buttered enchiladas.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the enchiladas are golden brown and bubbling.

Whipping Up the Topping:

  1. While the enchiladas are baking, whip the heavy cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.
  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Garnishing and Serving:

  1. Remove the peach pie enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
  2. Spoon a dollop of the whipped cream topping over each enchilada.
  3. Optionally, garnish with additional cinnamon or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Cooking Notes:

  • Ensure the tortillas are warmed before filling to prevent them from cracking during the rolling process.
  • Adjust the sugar in the peach filling based on the sweetness of the peaches and personal preference.
  • Allow the peach filling to macerate for at least 15-30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

Variations:

Pecan Perfection: Add a crunchy twist by sprinkling chopped pecans over the peach filling before rolling the enchiladas.

Berry Burst: Mix in fresh berries like blueberries or raspberries with the peach filling for a colorful and flavorful medley.

Almond Ambrosia: Fold almond slices into the peach filling for a delightful nutty crunch.

Keto and Low-Carb Versions:

Keto Peach Pie Enchiladas:

  • Replace the granulated sugar in the peach filling with a sugar substitute like erythritol or stevia.
  • Substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour in the peach filling to reduce carb content.
  • Use low-carb tortillas or make your own using almond flour or coconut flour.

Low-Carb Delight:

  • Opt for a sugar-free whipped cream topping using a sugar substitute.
  • Choose a low-carb sweetener for the cinnamon-sugar coating on the enchiladas.
  • Experiment with a mix of peaches and other low-carb fruits like berries to manage carbohydrate intake.
