Crispy air fryer apple pie taquitos blend Mexican and American dessert traditions in a delightful handheld treat. Cinnamon-spiced apple filling wrapped in golden tortillas creates a perfect sweet snack for gatherings and family celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 small flour tortillas
- 1.5 cups (355 ml) apple pie filling, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cups (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups (60 ml) melted butter
- caramel sauce, for drizzling
- whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preparation: Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish, mixing thoroughly to create a uniform cinnamon-sugar coating.
- Assembly: Position apple pie filling centrally on a tortilla, then tightly roll into a compact cylindrical shape, sealing the edges to contain the filling completely.
- Coating: Brush each taquito with melted butter, then generously roll in the prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring full and even coverage.
- Air Frying: Preheat air fryer to 350F. Arrange taquitos with sealed edge downward in a single layer, allowing sufficient space between each for crisp circulation.
- Cooking: Air fry for the recommended time, midway rotating taquitos to achieve consistent golden-brown coloration and crispy exterior. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
- Finishing: Remove taquitos from air fryer and transfer to a serving plate. Embellish with a luxurious caramel sauce drizzle, creating an enticing visual and flavor profile.
- Serving: Complement the warm, crispy taquitos with a generous dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of velvety vanilla ice cream, elevating the dessert to a sublime culinary experience.
Notes
- Choose Soft Tortillas: Select fresh, pliable tortillas that roll easily without cracking, ensuring a perfect taquito texture.
- Control Filling Quantity: Add apple pie filling sparingly to prevent overflow and maintain a tight, neat roll during air frying.
- Seal Edges Carefully: Pinch tortilla edges firmly to prevent filling from leaking during cooking, creating a clean, crisp exterior.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Watch taquitos closely in air fryer to avoid burning, rotating midway for even golden-brown coloration and consistent crispness.
