MEXICAN APPLE PIE

Steps:

• 1. ****I uses my electric casadila machine If you don't have one use a waffle iron instead. Just lay the top over the pie and it will brown both sides. Do not press down or filling will come out.*****
• 2. On a flat service take on flour tortilla and spread a tbsp of cream cheese in the middle not to get it too close to the sides. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Add about 1 heaping tbsp of filing to cover the cream cheese
• 3. Take the bottom part of the tortilla and fold up half way, then take both sides and fold to the middle covering the pie filling, then the top fold down. Place seam side down on the hot pan and brown.
• 4. Assemble: On a plate place the pie, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and powdered sugar. Place a spoon full of whipped cream on top and garnish with an apple pie slice.
