1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Cover and let cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are fully cooked. In a small bowl, combine the water and cornstarch.

Heat the flour tortillas in skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable. Spoon 2 tablespoons of apple filling into center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides to seal in the filling, and roll up the tortilla like your would a burrito. Place seam side down on a lightly greased baking sheet.

APPLE CHIMICHANGAS

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large apple cored, with skin and cut in thin slices
1 large pear, not very ripe, cored with skin and cut in thin slices
1/4 cup tequila
4 flour tortillas
1 cup vegetable oil
Vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy medium skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Add sugar and cinnamon and continue cooking until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add apples and pears and cook until slightly softened, another 6 minutes. Add tequila and continue cooking until browned, another 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Place 1 tortilla on a plate, and spoon about 1/6th of the apple/pear mixture into the center. Roll them and tuck the ends, egg-roll style, and secure them with toothpicks.
  • In another skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles and pops in the oil, about 350 degrees F, and fry each chimichanga until browned and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Remove the toothpicks and cut in half.
  • Serve hot, topping with a scoop of the vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best results. These apples hold their shape well and provide a nice contrast to the sweet filling.
  • Peel and core the apples thinly: This will help to ensure that the apples cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the apples: This will help to prevent the apples from browning and make it easier to cut them into even slices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the apples: This will help to prevent the apples from steaming instead of frying and becoming mushy.
  • Cook the apples until they are tender but still hold their shape: You don't want the apples to become too soft or they will fall apart when you roll up the chimichangas.
  • Use a large tortilla: This will make it easier to roll up the chimichangas and prevent them from breaking.
  • Fill the tortilla evenly: Don't put too much filling in the center of the tortilla, or it will be difficult to roll up.
  • Roll the chimichangas tightly: This will help to prevent the filling from falling out.
  • Fry the chimichangas until they are golden brown: This will give them a crispy outer shell and help to seal in the filling.
  • Serve the chimichangas with your favorite dipping sauce: Such as caramel sauce, whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Apple chimichangas are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a party or a potluck, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen. With a few simple tips, you can make apple chimichangas that are crispy, flavorful, and sure to impress your friends and family.
