Apple Chimichangas
It's apple season and I've been doing a little experimenting in my kitchen….and my husband didn't mind being the taste tester!! He loved these Apple Chimichangas, in fact the next day when he came home from work the first things he said was that he's been thinking about them all day and was hoping that there were still some left! I've always heard one way to a man's heart is through his stomach!
There are a few different ways to make these. You can use a tortilla instead of making your own wrap. This is an easier method and less time consuming. My husband is on a gluten free diet so I made the wraps from scratch with gluten free flour. They turned out great! Either way you choose they are sure to be a hit! If you use a tortilla make sure that you heat it up first so that it bends easily. You might even try getting it a little wet with your fingertips to help it stay closed while frying it.
Enjoy!

- Spoon the apple filling into the wrap. Fold up the side of the wrap and then roll it up.

Apple Chimichangas Wraps
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Slowly add in the milk,water and vanilla, stirring to combine. Add the melted butter; beat until smooth. You want to make sure that all the lumps are out.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour the batter onto the griddle, I used about 1/4 cup for each wrap but that will depend on the size of the pan you choose. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
- Cook the wrap for about 1 1/2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side.
