Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
Taquitos
- 6 medium flour tortillas
- 4 tbsp melted butter
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
Instructions
- Prepare the tortillas and filling: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple pie filling across the center of each tortilla. Roll each tortilla up tightly to form taquitos, ensuring the filling is sealed inside.
- Butter the taquitos: Using a pastry brush, generously brush the outside of each rolled taquito with melted butter. This step helps the cinnamon sugar stick to the surface and adds crispiness.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar: In a shallow dish, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon powder until combined. Roll each buttered taquito in the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating them fully and evenly. For extra flavor, roll them twice to create a thick, sweet crust.
- Air fry the taquitos: Arrange the coated taquitos seam side down in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch or overlap for even cooking. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 9 to 11 minutes, until they start to turn golden and crispy.
- Flip and finish cooking: Use tongs to carefully flip each taquito over. Continue air frying for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until they reach your desired level of crispness.
- Serve: Remove the taquitos from the air fryer and let them cool slightly as they will be very hot inside. Serve warm as a delicious dessert or snack.
Notes
- Be careful when rolling the tortillas tightly to prevent the apple filling from leaking out during cooking.
- Use medium flour tortillas for the best size and texture; larger or smaller tortillas may affect cooking time.
- For an extra touch, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on the side.
- If you don’t have a pastry brush, you can gently drizzle the melted butter over the tortillas and spread it using a spoon or your fingers.
- Adjust air fryer times slightly depending on your model and tortilla thickness for optimal crispness.
