> **Tip:** Use a toothpick to secure them if needed.
#### **3. Fry to Golden Perfection**
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each chimichanga for about **1–2 minutes per side**, until golden and crispy. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
> Want a lighter version? Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
#### **4. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar**
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. While the chimichangas are still warm, roll or sprinkle them generously in the cinnamon sugar.
#### **5. Top and Serve**
Serve warm with extra cherry pie filling on top. Add a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of melted chocolate if you’re feeling extra indulgent.
