These Air Fryer Apple Pie Taquitos are a quick and delicious dessert perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. Using soft flour tortillas filled with apple pie filling, coated in cinnamon sugar, and air fried to golden crispness, they offer a delightful twist on traditional apple pie with a crunchy, caramelized exterior and warm, gooey apple center.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 can apple pie filling (21 ounces)

Taquito Wraps

  • 6 soft flour tortillas (medium size)

Coating

  • 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tortillas: Lay each soft flour tortilla flat on a clean surface to prepare for filling.
  2. Add apple pie filling: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple pie filling across the center of each tortilla, ensuring an even distribution to avoid spilling when rolling.
  3. Roll the taquitos: Carefully roll the tortilla tightly around the filling to form taquitos. Make sure the seam is sealed to prevent filling leakage.
  4. Brush with butter: Using a brush, coat the outside of each rolled taquito evenly with melted butter; this helps the cinnamon sugar adhere and promotes a golden crisp finish.
  5. Prepare cinnamon sugar coating: In a shallow, flat dish, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll each buttered taquito in this mixture until fully coated on the outside.
  6. Arrange in air fryer: Place the coated taquitos seam side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer without stacking or overlapping to ensure even cooking.
  7. Air fry first side: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 9-11 minutes until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Flip and finish cooking: Using tongs, carefully flip each taquito over and air fry for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the other side is similarly golden and reaches your desired crispness.
  9. Serve warm: Remove the taquitos from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use medium soft flour tortillas for best rolling and crisping results.
  • Adjust air frying time slightly depending on your air fryer model and desired crispness.
  • You can add a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special dessert.
  • For a healthier version, consider using low-fat butter or a butter substitute.
  • Ensure taquitos are not stacked in the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation for even cooking.
