IMG_2190When I was younger one of the most memorable desserts I ever had was from Apple Chimicheesecake from Applebee’s. It was apple pie plus cheesecake plus chimichanga and it was delicious. There is no raw version of deep frying an apple pie cheesecake burrito and then topping it with whipped cream and ice cream (sorry), but nevertheless, you will not be disappointed by this dessert!

Also, if you want to truly emulate the chimichanga-ness of this dessert’s namesake, it’s completely possible to just double the dough recipe and make little burritos rather than pockets.
