Ingredients
- 1 can apple pie filling (21 ounces)
- 6 soft flour tortillas (medium)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Prepare Tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat, then spoon about 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling across the center of each tortilla.
2. Roll Taquitos: Roll the tortillas tightly, enclosing the filling, and brush the rolled taquitos with melted butter.
3. Coat with Sugar-Cinnamon Mixture: In a shallow, flat dish, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Roll each buttered taquito in the sugar-cinnamon mixture, coating the outside evenly.
4. Air Fry: Place the coated taquitos in the air fryer basket, seam side down, without stacking or overlapping.
5. Cook: Air fry the taquitos at 350°F (175°C) for 9-11 minutes, until they are golden and crispy.
6. Flip and Cook: Use tongs to flip the taquitos over, and air fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of crispness.
7. Serve: Once cooked, remove the apple pie taquitos from the air fryer and serve them warm. Enjoy as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve the Air Fryer Apple Pie Taquitos warm for the best flavor and texture.
- Enjoy them as is for a delicious dessert or snack.
- For an extra indulgent treat, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added flair.
Storage Tips:
- Store any leftover taquitos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
- To reheat, place the taquitos in the air fryer for a few minutes until warmed through and crispy again.
- Alternatively, you can reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes.
- Avoid storing the taquitos at room temperature for extended periods, as they may become soggy.
Make-Ahead Tips:
- You can prepare the taquitos ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
- Simply follow the recipe up to the point of air frying, then cover the taquitos tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate until needed.
- When ready to serve, remove them from the refrigerator, allow them to come to room temperature for a few minutes, then air fry according to the recipe instructions.
Freezing Tips:
- If you want to freeze the taquitos for longer storage, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid.
- Once frozen, transfer the taquitos to a freezer-safe bag or container, removing as much air as possible before sealing.
- Label the bag with the date and contents, then store in the freezer for up to 1-2 months.
- To cook from frozen, air fry the taquitos directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time until heated through and crispy.
