Air Fryer Apple Pie Taquitos Recipe

Introduction

These Air Fryer Apple Pie Taquitos offer a fun and easy twist on a classic dessert. Crispy on the outside and filled with warm, sweet apple pie filling, they make a perfect treat for any occasion. Ready in under 30 minutes, they’re a delicious crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

• 1 can apple pie filling (21 ounces)
• 6 soft flour tortillas (medium)
• 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Step 1: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface, then spoon about 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling across the center of each tortilla.
2. Step 2: Roll each tortilla tightly into a taquito shape, ensuring the filling is enclosed.
3. Step 3: Brush the outside of each rolled taquito with melted butter using a pastry brush or spoon.
4. Step 4: In a shallow dish, mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll each buttered taquito in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
5. Step 5: Place the taquitos seam side down in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding any stacking or overlapping.
6. Step 6: Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 9 to 11 minutes, until the taquitos are golden and crispy.
7. Step 7: Use tongs to carefully flip each taquito over and air fry for an additional 3 to 4 minutes to reach your desired crispness.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a dash of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
• Try using corn tortillas for a slightly different texture.
• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for a special treat.

Storage

Store leftover apple pie taquitos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.
