Apple Chimi Cheesecake

Approximate Time: 2 hrs (with freezing time)

Servings: recipe says 4, I was able to make 10

Ingredients:
Cheesecake filling (favorite home-made recipe or instant package mix)
Apple pie filling
Pressed 10" flour tortillas
Cinnamon sugar
caramel topping
Vanilla ice cream

Directions:

Prep cheesecake filling. Fold in desired amount of apple pie filling (recommend no more then equal to one-quarter of cheese cake mix). Warm tortilla slightly in microwave. Spatula mix onto tortilla in rectangle form, offset from the middle. Fold sides in first, bottom second, and roll to top. Ensure that it is sealed all the way around. Roll in wax paper and freeze.

When ready to prepare/serve, remove fully frozen chimi and fry immediately in 350 degree oil for approximately three to four-minutes. Remove from oil allow to drain. Roll in cinnamon sugar. Cut in half on an angle. Serve in a puddle of caramel and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

*This is a dessert that I used to get at Applebee's until they stopped making it. It doesn't taste quite the same, but it is still a good dessert. I made these for my whole family on Sunday so I was able to prepare this early in the day and just leave it in the freezer. I think I used a cheesecake pie filling which isn't as thick as a normal cheesecake, so I would probably make sure that you get the real cheesecake stuff. Also, I think the tortillas I got were smaller than 10" but I think they were the perfect size (soft taco size).
