Peel and core the apples, then dice them into small pieces.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Add diced apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar to the skillet; cook until apples are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Lay a flour tortilla flat and spoon the apple mixture onto it.

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a chimichanga.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Carefully place the chimichangas in the hot oil, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
