The end of summer is near. Some people are sad about it, while others are looking forward to it. Colder days and rain can spoil your mood. However, every season has its charms. Fall is a time of the year when we enjoy beautiful dishes … Delicious Caramel Apple Chimichangas dessert is one of them.

Chimichangas taste best when they are served the same day. You can use pie filling instead.

Apples are smiling at us from the baskets in supermarkets… there are so many wonderful dishes that you can make with them. This is one of the most beautiful recipes I have ever made.

How to prepare Caramel Apple Chimichangas?

  1. Peel the apples, cut them into cubes and set aside.
  2. Pour the water, sugar, salt, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cornstarch in a saucepan and stir. Put on medium heat to cook for a few minutes (about 3 min), stirring occasionally.
  3. When the mixture thickens, add the apples and cook for about 10 minutes until apples are soft . Remove from heat to cool for a few minutes.
  4. On each tortilla, put 1 teaspoon of caramel sauce and spread in the middle of tortillas. Put the apple filling over caramel sauce. Close tortilla on both sides and roll it in chimichanga.
  5. Consolidate with a toothpick and fry briefly in hot oil. Rotate chimichanga on all sides to golden brown. Put on a towel to get rid of excess oil.
  6. Then roll the warm chimichanga in sugar and cinnamon mix and pour over the caramel sauce.

If you still haven‘t tried any sweet chimichangas, try these, I‘m sure you‘ll love them. Chimichangas are best to be served and eaten the same day. Enjoy 🙂

After successful dessert recipes APPLE CHEESECAKE TACOS I decided to make this Homemade Baked Apple Chimichangas.

Apple Cheesecake Tacos – crunchy cinnamon sugar tortilla shells, filled with cheesecake filling and covered with homemade apple pie filling are simply perfect. This very tasty dessert is ideal for upcoming fall days.
