Ingredients:
Apple Pie Filling:
2 apples (peeled and chopped into cubes, Granny Smith works well)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 tsp lemon juice
Chimichangas:
4 small flour tortillas
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tbsp cinnamon
4-5 tsp caramel sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions:
Prepare the Apple Pie Filling:
Peel and chop the apples into cubes and set aside.
In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, salt, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Stir until mixed.
Cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
Add the chopped apples and cook for about 10 minutes, until the apples are soft. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Assemble the Chimichangas:
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
On each tortilla, spread 1 teaspoon of caramel sauce in the center.
Spoon the apple filling over the caramel sauce.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up to form a chimichanga. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Fry the Chimichangas:
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
Carefully fry each chimichanga, turning on all sides until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve:
While still warm, roll the chimichangas in the cinnamon-sugar mix.
Drizzle with extra caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch.
Enjoy!
Serve these Caramel Apple Chimichangas warm for a perfect fall dessert! They’re crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, with a sweet apple and caramel filling that everyone will love!
