Description

Delight in these crispy and sweet Air Fryer Apple Pie Taquitos, combining tender apple pie filling wrapped in warm flour tortillas, coated with buttery cinnamon sugar, and air-fried to golden perfection. A quick and easy dessert perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth in under 25 minutes.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 can apple pie filling (21 ounces)

Wraps

  • 6 soft flour tortillas (medium size)

Coating

  • 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tortillas: Lay the soft flour tortillas flat on a clean surface to prepare for filling.
  2. Add the Apple Filling: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling evenly across the center of each tortilla, spreading it out but leaving enough space at the edges.
  3. Roll the Taquitos: Tightly roll up each tortilla around the apple filling to create a taquito shape, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed.
  4. Brush with Butter: Using a pastry brush, coat each rolled taquito lightly with melted butter to help the coating adhere and create a crispy finish.
  5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll each buttered taquito in this mixture until evenly coated on all sides.
  6. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the coated taquitos seam side down in the air fryer basket. Make sure to place them without stacking or overlapping to ensure even cooking.
  7. Air Fry Initial Step: Air fry the taquitos at 350°F (175°C) for 9 to 11 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  8. Flip and Finish Cooking: Using tongs, carefully flip each taquito over and continue air frying for an additional 3 to 4 minutes to achieve your preferred level of crispness.
  9. Serve: Remove from the air fryer once crispy on all sides and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use medium-sized soft flour tortillas for easy rolling and the best texture.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, cook the taquitos in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • For extra flavor, serve with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best crispness.
  • Adjust the sugar and cinnamon amount to suit your sweetness preference.
