- oil for frying
- caramel sauce see NOTES
Instructions
- Heat about 1/2-inch of oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat until oil reaches 350℉

- To make tortillas more pliable, place the stack of 8 between 2 paper towels and sprinkle towels with about 1 tsp water. Microwave on high for 10-15 seconds.
- Place about 1/4 cup of the pie filling in the center of each tortilla. Roll up egg-roll style. Secure end with a toothpick. Repeat for remaining tortillas.
- Fry 2-3 chimichangas at a time, about 3-4 minutes each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Repeat for remaining chimichangas.
- Roll warm chimichangas in cinnamon sugar. Serve with caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
Store-bought caramel ice cream sauce may be used. To make your own, mix 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup unsalted butter & 1/4 cup light cream or half-n-half in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until sauce boils; boil for 3-4 minutes. For a thinner sauce, add more cream.
