Dump the canned apple pie filling into a bowl.

Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the apple filling and stir well.

Use kitchen shears to cut the apple chunks in half if desired.

Set the apple mixture aside.

Take an 8-inch flour tortilla and place some of the apple pie filling down the center.

Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in a buttered 11x7 baking dish.

Repeat with the remaining tortillas, using a total of 6 tortillas.

In a saucepan over medium heat, add 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of water.

Let the mixture combine and come to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.

Pour the syrup mixture over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.

Optionally, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the enchiladas.

Let the enchiladas sit in the pan for about 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

After 45 minutes, place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before plating.

Drizzle caramel topping over the enchiladas and serve with ice cream.
