ABOUT Apple Cinnamon Chimichangas RECIPE

Chimichanga is a burrito filled with your choice of fillings, sweet or savoury, and deep fried to a golden perfection.bI had a small box of frozen apple pie filling peeking from my freezer which I used as filling for the flour tortillas, folded them into burritos and shallow fried them. The final step was to dust them with powdered cinnamon sugar.

Ingredients Serving: 8

For the tortillas:
2 cups All purpose flour
2 tbsp veg shortening or Olive oil or refined oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Baking powder
1/2 - 3/4 cup warm water
For the stuffing:
3 big Apples, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp Sugar
1 tbsp Butter
1 tsp Cinnamon powder
1 cup Oil for frying
2-3 tbsp Powdered Cinnamon Sugar for dusting

Instructions

For the tortillas. Sift the flour,baking powder and salt in a bowl and mix the shortening or oil with your fingertips to combine. Add the warm water gradually and work into a soft dough, cover and keep for 30 minutes.
Roll out 8 medium sized round tortillas with the dough and cook them on a griddle till brown spots appear. Cover the dough with a damp tea towel as you cook the tortillas.
For the apple filling saute the chopped apples in butter for few minutes till they become little soft.
Add the sugar and cinnamon and let it cook for 3-4 minutes till the sugar is caramelised and the mixtures becomes little saucy.
For the Chimichangas, in a tortilla lay out enough filling so that you can fold it into a burrito easily.
Fold opposite sides over the filling and roll up from the bottom like a burrito.
Place with the seam side down in a fry pan with pre heated oil, fry on a low flame, turn the other side when golden brown. (I shallow fried it with 3-4 tbsp of oil).
Alternately brush with melted butter and bake at 200 degree centigrade for 20 minutes or till golden brown.
Dab the extra oil with a tissue from the fried chimichangas and dust with powdered cinnamon and sugar.
Cut into halves and serve hot with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
