Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1/2 cup butter

  • 1/2 cup white sugar

  • 5 (10 inch) flour tortillas

  • 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 tablespoon crushed sliced almonds

Directions

  • Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  • Combine the water, butter, and 1/2 cup of sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.

  • Place two spoonfuls of cherry pie filling a little bit off center on each tortilla. Roll up the tortilla and place it seam side down into the baking dish. Repeat for all tortillas.

  • Pour the hot water, butter, and sugar mixture over the tortillas. Make sure to completely coat the top of each tortilla. The mixture will be watery. Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight.

  • Preheat an oven to 375° F.

  • Combine 2 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon, and almonds in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the top of the tortillas.

  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the outside edges of the tortillas are golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
