BAKED CINNAMON APPLE CHIMICHANGAS RECIPE - (4/5)



Baked Cinnamon Apple Chimichangas Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-24743

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 gala apples, peeled, cored, and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon unflavored cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
10-12 (6 inch) flour tortillas
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, sugar, and cinnamon to the skillet; mix to combine. Stir in 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. Pour into the apple mixture and let cook for about a minute or until the juice from the apples has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 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. With the tip of a very sharp knife, carefully cut 2-3 diagonal slits on top of each chimichanga. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until light golden brown and crisp to the touch. Stir together 1/2 cup powdered sugar with tablespoon of milk, until well combined. If too thick add a little more milk until desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the chimichangas.

Tips:

  • Use firm apples that hold their shape well, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • Peel and core the apples before slicing them, to save time and make them easier to eat.
  • If you don't have a tortilla press, you can use a rolling pin to flatten the tortillas.
  • Be careful not to overfill the tortillas, or they will be difficult to fold and seal.
  • If you are using a deep fryer, make sure the oil is at the correct temperature before adding the chimichangas, to prevent them from sticking or burning.
  • Serve the chimichangas with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Conclusion:

Apple cinnamon chimichangas are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a crispy tortilla shell, sweet apple filling, and warm cinnamon sugar coating, these chimichangas are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
