For the Tortillas, Sift the flour,baking powder and salt in a bowl and mix the shortening or oil with your fingertips to combine.
Add the warm water gradually and work into a soft dough,cover and keep for 30 mins.
Roll out 8 medium sized round tortillas with the dough and cook them on a griddle till brown spots appear.Cover the dough with a damp tea towel as you cook the tortillas.
Don’t overcook as they will become dry and butter them and wrap them in a tea towel as you cook the other tortillas.
For the apple filling, saute the chopped apples in butter for few minutes till they become little soft.
Add the sugar and cinnamon and let it cook for 3-4 minutes till the sugar is caramelised and the mixtures becomes little saucy.
For the Chimichangas, in a tortilla lay out enough filling so that you can fold it into a burrito easily.
Fold opposite sides over the filling and roll up from the bottom like a burrito.
Place with the seam side down in a fry pan with pre heated oil,fry in a low flame,turn the other side when golden brown.( I shallow fried it with 3-4 tbsp of oil)

Dab the extra oil with a tissue from the fried chimichangas and dust with powdered cinnamon Sugar.
Cut into halves and serve hot with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
