Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
• 1 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
• 2 tablespoons salted butter
• 4 medium apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup water

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place apples, sugar, water, butter, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until well blended, then cook, stirring frequently, until apples have softened and mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 2

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

While oil is heating, spoon some apple mixture onto each tortilla and roll up, tucking in the ends, like a burrito. Fry chimichangas in the hot oil until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Serve warm.
