Description
These Air Fryer Apple Pie Taquitos are a quick, easy, and delicious dessert or snack. Flour tortillas are filled with apple pie filling, rolled up, brushed with butter, coated in cinnamon sugar, and air-fried until golden brown and crispy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (21-ounce) can apple pie filling
- 6 medium-sized soft flour tortillas
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish (such as a pie plate or a rimmed plate), combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
- Fill Tortillas: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple pie filling across the center of the tortilla, leaving about an inch of space at each end. Do not overfill.
- Roll Taquitos: Tightly roll up the tortilla, starting from one end and rolling towards the other, enclosing the filling.
- Brush with Butter: Brush the rolled taquito with melted butter, coating the entire surface.
- Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately roll the buttered taquito in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating it evenly.
- Repeat: Repeat steps 2-5 with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Preheat Air Fryer (Optional): While not strictly necessary for this recipe, preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes can help ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry (First Side): Place the prepared taquitos in the air fryer basket in a single layer, seam-side down. Do not overcrowd the basket; work in batches if necessary. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 9-11 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Air Fry (Second Side): Carefully flip the taquitos over using tongs. Air fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of crispness.
- Serve: Remove the taquitos from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Apple Pie Filling: Use your favorite brand of canned apple pie filling.
- Tortillas: Medium-sized (about 8-inch) soft flour tortillas work best for this recipe. Make sure they are soft and pliable; if they are stiff, they may crack when rolled.
- Butter: Melted butter helps the cinnamon sugar adhere to the taquitos and creates a crispy exterior.
- Cinnamon Sugar: You can adjust the ratio of cinnamon to sugar to your preference.
- Air Fryer: Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve these apple pie taquitos warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Storage Best served immediately.
