- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface to prepare for filling.
- Add Filling: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple pie filling across the center of each tortilla, spreading it evenly but leaving edges clear for rolling.
- Roll the Taquitos: Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to form a compact taquito, ensuring the filling is enclosed.
- Brush with Butter: Using a brush, evenly coat the outside of each rolled taquito with melted butter to help the coating stick and develop a golden color during cooking.

Notes
