Main Ingredients
- 1 can apple pie filling (21 ounces)
- 6 soft flour tortillas (medium size)
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare Tortillas and Filling: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling across the center of each tortilla, evenly spreading the filling but leaving edges free for rolling.
- Roll and Brush: Roll each tortilla tightly into a taquito shape. Using a brush, coat the outside of the rolled taquito evenly with melted butter to help the sugar-cinnamon coating stick and to enhance crispness.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly. Roll each buttered taquito in this mixture, ensuring an even coating all around.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the coated taquitos seam side down in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Make sure they do not overlap or stack to allow for even air circulation and crisping.
- Air Fry First Side: Cook the taquitos in the air fryer preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the outer shells turn golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Finish Air Frying: Using tongs, carefully turn each taquito over. Continue air frying for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until you reach your desired level of crispness and the filling is nicely warmed through.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray before rolling in cinnamon sugar.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for an indulgent dessert.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
- You can substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the sugar amount in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
