How to Make Apple Mexi Crisp With A Twist

Heat about 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Gently fry 6-8 small flour tortillas (6-inch diameter) until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
While the tortillas are still warm, sprinkle both sides generously with 2 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar (equal parts cinnamon and granulated sugar).
Spread approximately 1/2 cup of warm apple pie filling evenly over each tortilla.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese over the apple filling.
Finish with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon red hots (about 1 teaspoon per tortilla).
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors!
