Enjoy crispy tortillas filled with sweet apple pie filling, air-fried to perfection for a healthier dessert that's quick to prepare.
Ingredients
For the filling
- 1 can apple pie filling Provides rich and sweet apple flavor.
For the taquitos
- 8 pieces soft flour tortillas Acts as a delicious wrap.
- 2 tablespoons butter Adds moisture and helps cinnamon-sugar adhere.
- 1/2 cup sugar Sweetens the outer layer.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Infuses a warm flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface, ready for filling.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling into the center of each tortilla.
- Carefully roll the tortilla around the filling to create a tight taquito shape.
- Use a pastry brush to coat the outside of the rolled taquito with melted butter.
Coating
- In a shallow dish, combine sugar and ground cinnamon, stirring well to blend.
- Roll the buttered taquito in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Cooking
- Place the coated taquitos in the air fryer basket with the seam side down, ensuring they are not stacked or overlapping.
- Set the air fryer to 350°F and cook for 9 to 11 minutes until the taquitos are golden and crispy.
- Use tongs to gently flip the taquitos over after the initial cooking time.
- Air fry for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until they reach your desired crispness.
Notes
Serve warm for the best texture and taste. To store leftover taquitos, allow them to cool completely and refrigerate for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer for about 4-5 minutes to regain crispness.
