CARAMEL APPLE CHIMICHANGAS

Ingredients:

APPLE PIE FILLING::

  • 2 apples, peeled and chopped into cubes (I used Granny Smith)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ cup cornstarch
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • ⅛ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

CHIMICHANGAS:

  • 4 small flour tortillas
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ tbsp cinnamon
  • 4-5 tsp Caramel Sauce
  • ¼ cup Vegetable Oil

Instructions:

Peel the apples, cut them into cubes and set aside.

Pour the water, sugar, salt, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cornstarch in a saucepan and stir. Put on medium heat to cook for a few minutes (about 3 min), stirring occasionally.

When the mixture thickens, add the apples and cook for about 10 minutes until apples are soft . Remove from heat to cool for a few minutes.

On each tortilla, put 1 teaspoon of caramel sauce and spread in the middle of tortillas. Put the apple filling over caramel sauce. Close tortilla on both sides and roll it in chimichanga.

Consolidate with a toothpick and fry briefly in hot oil. Rotate chimichanga on all sides to golden brown. Put on a towel to get rid of excess oil.

Then roll the warm chimichanga in sugar and cinnamon mix and pour over the caramel sauce.

Notes

Serve the chimichangas and enjoy!
