Homemade Baked Apple Chimichangas
I love it when I come across a recipe that is so versatile. These Homemade Baked Apple Chimichangas are not just a great snack, but you can have these for breakfast or even dessert. This recipe makes a casserole dish full, so you can store them and just re-heat them in the microwave as needed. My son devoured these and now wants me to make them all of the time. They take a little time to make, but are worth every bite!
