These Air Fryer Apple Pie Taquitos are a quick and delicious twist on traditional apple pie, combining warm, cinnamon-sugar coated apple filling wrapped in crispy flour tortillas.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling

Wraps

  • 6 medium flour tortillas

Coating

  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coating: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon powder. Set this cinnamon-sugar mixture aside for later use.
  2. Assemble the Taquitos: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 3 to 4 tablespoons of the apple pie filling evenly onto the lower third of the tortilla. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from the filled end to the other, creating a taquito shape. Repeat this process with all tortillas.
  3. Coat the Taquitos: Brush each rolled tortilla generously with melted butter, ensuring the entire surface is coated for maximum crispiness and flavor. Then, roll each buttered taquito in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully covered.
  4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3 minutes.
  5. Air Fry the Taquitos: Place the coated taquitos in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. Air fry for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through to promote even browning.
  6. Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the taquitos from the air fryer with tongs and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overfill the tortillas to prevent them from breaking while rolling.
  • If you prefer, you can add a sprinkle of nutmeg or ground cloves to the cinnamon-sugar mix for extra warmth.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent dessert.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat briefly in the air fryer to retain crispiness.
