How to make Cinnamon Apple Dessert Chimichangas

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 13

Filling
4 baking apples, chopped (I used a mix of granny smith and gala apples)
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup cornstarch
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. lemon juice
Chimichanga
8-10 small tortillas
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbs. cinnamon
Oil for frying

Steps:

  • For the Apple Pie Filling
  • Combine the water, cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook for approximately 3 minutes, or until the mixture becomes very thick.
  • Add the chopped apples and reduce to a simmer. Allow the apple mixture to simmer until the apples become just tender (approximately 10 minutes). Allow the mixture to cool.
  • For the Chimichangas
  • Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl and set aside.
  • Spoon apple pie filling across the bottom 1/3 of the tortilla.
  • Roll in both sides of the tortilla before rolling up the bottom of the tortilla over the filling, and then continue to roll the tortilla up like a burrito.
  • Meanwhile, heat a small skillet with 1/2 an inch of oil. Once oil is hot, fry the chimichangas on all sides until the tortilla turns golden brown. (approximately 30 seconds on each side)
  • Remove the chimichangas to a paper towel-lined plate and allow to drain briefly. Immediately roll the warm chimichanga in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat and serve.
