Mexican Hot Apple Pie image

Many Many moons ago I worked for a little not-so-fast fast food Mexican restaurant called Jolly Tamale as a cashier and a cook as well (we all did everything there!). They served a dish they called a Mexican Apple pie, which I absolutely fell in love with. I started making these at home using storebought cinnamon tortilla...

Number Of Ingredients 9

CINNAMON TORTILLA CHIPS
1 pkg tortillas, flour
melted butter
cinnamon sugar
TOPPING
can(s) 1-2 cans depending on how many you're serving, of apple pie filling
1 pkg shredded cheddar cheese
1 pkg red hot candies, crushed in a food processor
optional: ready whip whipped cream (the kind in the can)

Steps:

  • 1. TORTILLA CHIPS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush each individual tortilla generously with butter. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar, and cut into 8th's. Place on a cookie sheet and bake in oven until light brown (they brown quickly, keep an eye on them!), usually around 8-10 minutes. You can add a bit more butter and cinnamon sugar once they come out of the oven.
  • 2. TOPPING: Place chips on the bottom of an individual serving plate. Spoon apple pie filling over top of the chips. Sprinkle Red Hot candy powder over top of the pie filling (to taste), sprinkle with cheddar cheese, and place in microwave on medium power, until the cheese is melted. You can choose to add whipped cream after it's finished cooking in the micro. SERVE HOT!
  • 3. NOTE: I eat these quite a bit for dessert, and because they're so easy to make, I keep more ingrediants on hand that what I'll use for a night's servings. I bake extra chips, and store them in an airtight container for future use. When I crush my red hots, I use 3-4 bags worth, and put what I'm not using immediately into a ziplock baggy or airtight container for future use. And of course, I'm always stocked up on apple pie filling now, so making these becomes a 3 minute dessert, including prep!!! My personal tastes are to add extra cheese (I love apples and cheddar cheese together!!!), a little extra red hot dust for extra flavor, and opt out of using whipped cream (not a fan of the stuff to begin with.).

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie filling turned out runny. I think I might have added too much liquid.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie crust turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This pie was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best apple pie he's ever had.

I'm not a big fan of apple pie, but this Mexican hot apple pie was really good. The chili powder added a nice kick of flavor.

This pie was delicious! The crust was flaky and the filling was gooey and flavorful. The chili powder added a nice touch of heat that wasn't overpowering. I will definitely be making this pie again.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spicy food. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the chili powder worked with the apples. The pie was sweet and spicy, but not too hot. The crust was also very good. Over

I've been making apple pies for years, but this Mexican hot apple pie is by far the best. The chili powder adds just the right amount of heat to balance out the sweetness of the apples. The crust is also incredibly flaky and flavorful. I will definit
