Tortilla Apple Cheesecake

This recipe reminds me of Applebee's dessert and is quick to prepare.

Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

• 2 (9 inch) flour tortillas
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup finely chopped peeled apple
• Oil for frying
• Vanilla ice cream (optional)
• Caramel topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Let tortillas stand at room temperature while making filling.
2. Mix sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
3. Using a fork, mash cream cheese with vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
4. Stir in apple. Spoon filling down centers of tortillas, leaving 1 1/2 inches at top and bottom. To enclose filling, fold top and bottom onto cream cheese; roll up.
5. Heat oil over medium heat in skillet about 1/2 inch deep. Fry tortillas on both sides until golden. Turn out onto paper towel and immediately into cinnamon sugar.
6. Serve plain or with ice cream and topping.
