Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine apples, 2 tbsp Splenda, cinnamon, and water. Bring to a boil, and cook until apples are soft. Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature.
- To build the chimichangas, pile 2 tsp apple filling on each tortilla and fold each end over the filling. Roll the tortillas up and secure each one with a toothpick. Lightly coat the tortillas with cooking spray. Place folded tortillas seam side down on baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with remaining granulated sweetener. Bake for 5 minutes, then turn over and bake 5 minutes more.
- Remove chimichangas from the baking sheet and place on individual plates. If desired, garnish with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
