• 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.

APPLE CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• Heat a heavy medium skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Add sugar and cinnamon and continue cooking until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add apples and pears and cook until slightly softened, another 6 minutes. Add tequila and continue cooking until browned, another 5 to 7 minutes.
• Place 1 tortilla on a plate, and spoon about 1/6th of the apple/pear mixture into the center. Roll them and tuck the ends, egg-roll style, and secure them with toothpicks.
• In another skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles and pops in the oil, about 350 degrees F, and fry each chimichanga until browned and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Remove the toothpicks and cut in half.
• Serve hot, topping with a scoop of the vanilla ice cream.

AIR FRYER CHIMICHANGAS

• Heat tortillas in a large skillet or directly on grates of a gas stove until soft and pliable.

Fold top and bottom of tortillas over the filling, then roll each into a burrito shape. Mist with cooking spray and place in the basket of an air fryer.
