 Use your favorite recipe for flour tortillas, or make dough from the recipe


 on the Tortilla mix package. Divide the dough into 4, 2-inch balls. Roll


 each into a 6-inch tortilla. Dust with flour, cover with plastic wrap and


 set aside. In a saucepan, place apples with enough water to cover. Add


 lemon juice. Cook over high heat until boiling 5 minutes. Add sugar,


 cloves, cinnamon, and walnuts; continue cooking over low heat until


 slightly thickened.  Combine cornstarch and water and add to mixture,


 stirring until thick. Remove from heat. Lay out tortillas; dust off excess


 flour.  Spoon on 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture down the middle of each


 tortilla.  Fold one side of the tortilla over the mixture; then fold the


 remaining side over. Fold in the ends and seal by moisting the tortillas


 with a little water. Bake in a preheated, 400 degree F oven until lightly


 browned.  Remove and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Serve with whipped


 cream (at Cafe Noche, it is served with Tequila Sabayon sauce made with


 tequila, egg yolks, and sugar. NOTE: Tortillas and apple mixture may be


 made ahead several hours or a day


      before. Recipe: Cafe Noche, 2409 Montrose Blvd, Houston, Texas --
