Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups cherry pie filling
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
  • 0.25 cup sliced almonds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter, for brushing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt or sour cream, and honey or maple syrup if using. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Step 2: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla.
  3. Step 3: Spoon about 6 tablespoons of cherry pie filling over the cream cheese mixture on each tortilla.
  4. Step 4: Fold the sides of each tortilla toward the center, then tightly roll from the bottom up to form a wrap.
  5. Step 5: If desired, lightly brush the outside of each wrap with melted butter for a golden finish.
  6. Step 6: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.
  7. Step 7: Transfer the wraps to plates, dust with powdered sugar, sprinkle with sliced almonds if using, and serve warm immediately.

Tips & Variations

  • Substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream for a tangier flavor in the cream cheese mixture.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon to the cream cheese mix for a warm spice note.
  • Try using whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary preferences.
  • For extra crunch, toast the sliced almonds before sprinkling on top.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or microwave briefly to maintain the crisp texture without drying out.

How to Serve

Two rolled pastries are shown close up on a white marbled texture, each cut in half to reveal glossy, bright red cherry filling inside. The outer layer is golden brown with a light sprinkling of sugar granules, giving it a grainy texture. Inside, there is a smooth white cream layer just beneath the crust, surrounding the vibrant juicy cherries that have a shiny, syrupy glaze. One whole cherry with a green stem is placed near the pastries, adding a fresh element to the image. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use fresh cherries instead of pie filling?

Fresh cherries can be used but will be less sweet and saucy than pie filling. You might want to cook them with a bit of sugar and water to create a similar consistency before filling the wraps.

Are these wraps suitable for freezing?

Yes, you can freeze the wraps before cooking. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and cook as directed.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling and Spread

  • 1.5 cups cherry pie filling
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Wraps and Garnishes

  • 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
  • 0.25 cup sliced almonds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter, for brushing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt or sour cream, and honey or maple syrup if using. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended to create a creamy spread.
  2. Assemble the Tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla, ensuring good coverage for flavor.
  3. Add Cherry Pie Filling: Spoon about 6 tablespoons of cherry pie filling evenly over the cream cheese mixture on each tortilla, distributing the cherries carefully to avoid spilling when rolling.
  4. Fold and Roll the Wraps: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward toward the center to encase the filling, then tightly roll the tortilla from the bottom up, creating a neat wrap that holds the fillings securely.
  5. Optional Butter Brushing: If desired, lightly brush the outside of each wrap with melted butter to enhance the flavor and help achieve a golden crust when cooking.
  6. Cook the Wraps: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until the tortilla is golden brown and the filling is warmed through. Flip carefully to avoid unrolling.
  7. Serve: Transfer the cooked wraps to plates. Optionally dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle sliced almonds on top for added texture and sweetness. Serve immediately while still warm for the best taste.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
  • Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste or omit for less sweetness.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas to make the recipe gluten-free if needed.
  • Be careful when folding and rolling to prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • The butter brushing step is optional but adds a nice crispy texture and richer flavor.
  • Serve fresh and warm for optimal taste and texture.
