Description

Sweet chimichanga dessert burritos are filled with apple pie filling, deep-fried until golden brown, then rolled in cinnamon sugar for a tasty treat.

Ingredients

1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
1/2 cup cinnamon sugar
15 (6 inch) flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups oil for frying
15 toothpicks

Directions

1 Heat apple pie filling in a small pot over medium-low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
2 Place cinnamon sugar in a shallow dish.
3 Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons filling into the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides in and over filling, then roll up like a burrito. Use a toothpick to secure.
4 Heat oil in a large, deep saucepan over medium heat.
5 Working in batches, fry tortillas, seam-side down, in hot oil until browned and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Blot on paper towels. Remove toothpicks and roll chimichangas in cinnamon sugar to coat.
