Ingredients

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Chimichangas

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup White Sugar
  • 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 20 oz can Apple Pie Filling
  • ¼ cup Caramel Sauce
  • 6 Flour Tortillas (taco style)
  • Canola or Peanut Oil (for frying)

Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Coating

  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • ½ Tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon White Sugar

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, white sugar, and heavy whipping cream. This will be the cheesecake filling.
  • In a separate bowl, combine apple pie filling with caramel sauce.
  • Microwave tortillas for about 15 seconds before rolling the chimichangas. This makes them more flexible and easier to fold without tearing.
  • Lay tortilla flat. Add 3 tbsp of cheesecake mixture, followed by 3 tbsp of apple pie filling directly in the center of the tortilla in an oval shape.
  • Fold the bottom half of the tortilla over the top half. Then, push filling back slightly into the tortilla, making a tighter wrap in doing so. Next, fold the sides towards the center and roll the burrito to the top half. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.
  • Mix remaining white sugar, cinnamon, and brown sugar and evenly cover the bottom of a plate. Set aside.
  • Add oil to your deep fryer's minimum fill line, or add 2” of oil to a cast-iron skillet. Heat oil to 375°F.
  • Once the oil is at temp, slowly lower chimichangas into the oil using tongs. Fry for 3 minutes on each side. 
  • Remove chimichangas from oil one by one, immediately placing onto the plate filled with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll to evenly coat.
  • Drizzle caramel sauce on top and serve warm. Enjoy!
