Ingredients
-
Filling: 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
-
Wrap: 6 medium soft flour tortillas
-
Coating: 4 tbsp butter (melted), ½ cup sugar, 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
-
Fill: Lay tortillas flat. Spoon approx. 2 tbsp of apple pie filling in a line across the center of each.
-
Roll: Roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling.
-
Coat: Brush the outside of each roll generously with melted butter. In a shallow dish, whisk the sugar and cinnamon together, then roll each taquito in the mixture until evenly coated.
-
Arrange: Place taquitos in the air fryer basket seam-side down to prevent them from unrolling. Do not stack them; cook in batches if necessary.
-
Air Fry: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes until golden.
-
Flip: Carefully flip the taquitos and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until perfectly crispy all the way around.
-
Serve: Enjoy warm. These are incredible paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Notes
-
Seam Side Down: This is the most important step! Placing them seam-side down “locks” the tortilla in place so you don’t need toothpicks.
-
Filling Tip: If the apple chunks in your filling are very large, give them a quick chop before filling the tortillas to make rolling easier.
-
Tortilla Choice: Use flour tortillas rather than corn for this recipe; flour gets a much better “pastry-like” crunch when air fried with butter and sugar.
