Ingredients
- 6–8 small flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups apple pie filling (homemade or canned, chopped into small pieces)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Cooking spray (for air fryer basket)
- Optional toppings: caramel sauce, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
- If using canned filling, chop apples into small pieces for easier rolling.
- Spoon 2–3 tbsp of filling onto the lower third of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down.
- Brush the outsides with melted butter.
- Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange taquitos seam-side down in a single layer.
- Air fry 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
- In a shallow dish, mix sugar and cinnamon. Roll warm taquitos in the mixture or sprinkle on top.
- Serve warm with caramel drizzle, whipped cream, or ice cream.
Notes
- Don’t overfill tortillas, or they may unroll or leak filling.
- Preheating the air fryer ensures even crisping.
- For homemade filling, cook diced apples with butter, cinnamon, and sugar until tender.
- Use flour tortillas—corn tortillas may crack.
- For extra indulgence, add caramel inside before rolling.
