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.
