A delightful treat that combines the comforting flavors of apple pie with the fun of taquitos. These easy apple pie taquitos are perfect for fall gatherings, cozy nights in, or as a sweet snack for kids.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 small flour tortillas (or corn tortillas for gluten-free option)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Mix until the apples are well coated. Set aside for about 10-15 minutes.
Heat the tortillas in a microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make them pliable. Optionally, lightly toast them in a dry skillet.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple filling onto the lower third of each tortilla.
Starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla tightly around the filling. Secure the edge with melted butter.
Brush the tops lightly with melted butter.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the taquitos in a single layer in the basket and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
Once cooked, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the tops of the taquitos while warm.
Allow the taquitos to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
