Ingredients for Applebee S Chimicheesecake

  • Flour Tortillas
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • Flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Apples
  • Toffee Pieces
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Vanilla Ice Cream

How to Make Applebee S Chimicheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 large eggs, beating well after each addition.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped toffee bits and 1/2 cup diced apples.
  6. Lay out 6-8 small flour tortillas. Place approximately 1/4 cup of the cheesecake filling in the center of each tortilla, about 2 1/2 inches from the edges.
  7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, tucking them in slightly, then tightly roll to create a sealed cylinder.
  8. Refrigerate the rolled chimichurris for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
  9. While chimichurris chill, prepare your cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  10. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
  11. Carefully fry the chimichurris in batches, turning frequently, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  12. Remove from oil and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  13. Bake the fried chimichurris on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through.
  14. Remove from oven and generously sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  15. Serve immediately, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
