What a tasty dessert! My husband said it was a keeper. I couldn't find in the directions where you add the flour so I just added it in with the cheese mix. It must have been right. I'll definately make this again.

1. As another reviewer mentioned this is really runny and does not stay in the middle of the tortilla. 2. Do not use cheap tortillas! I sent someone else shopping and should have known that I would not get what I wanted. 3. This being said, my tortillas ripped every time and because the mixture was so runny it just ended up everywhere. Also I cut this recipe in half and still had a ton of mixture leftover (did not want to deal with it either). But in the end after being fried they turned out awkward but ended up tasting great but with unfortunately a very thick tortilla "layer" so we drizzled them with the extra mixture. So I will keep this recipe on hand for when I decide to deep fry stuff as it worked out well in the end :D

10 stars !!!!!!! AMAZING. I had first had this dessert at Applebee's and fell in love with it. I was very excited to find this recipe. Very easy to make. I made the filling and filled the tortillas this morning chilled until after dinner then fried then up (doesnt take long at all) then baked them. YUMMY.. This recipe made 13 desserts. I plan on freezing the leftovers for quick desserts.This recipe tastes just like the real thing.

I can't even begin to say how excited I was to find this recipe. I've been dying for these ever since Applebee's took them off their menu (what were they thinking). I had to use spiced apples because my grocery store didn't carry regular ones, but it was still absolutely incredible. They even chill and reheat pretty well!
