- 4 – 8 inch flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- cinnamon sugar
- 16 ounces diced apple pie filling

Prepare red hot candy powder by grinding the candies in to a powder with a food processor or blender.

Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the top of the apple pie filling.
Sprinkle a small amount of the red hot candy powder on top of the cheese.
