Ingredients

Scale

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 the Tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface to prepare for filling.
  2. 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.
  3. Roll the Taquitos: Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to form a compact taquito, ensuring the filling is enclosed.
  4. 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.
  5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll each buttered taquito in this mixture to completely coat the outside.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for optimal cooking results.
  7. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the taquitos seam side down into the air fryer basket, making sure not to stack or overlap them to allow even cooking.
  8. First Air Fry: Cook for 9 to 11 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  9. Flip and Finish: Use tongs to carefully flip each taquito and air fry for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until they reach your desired crispiness.
  10. Serve: Remove from the air fryer and serve warm, enjoying the crispy texture with sweet apple filling inside.

Notes

  • Use medium soft flour tortillas for best rolling and crispiness results.
  • Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded to allow proper air circulation.
  • Adjust air frying time if your taquitos are larger or if your air fryer model runs hot or cool.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for an indulgent dessert option.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispiness.
