Ingredients
Scale
Taquitos
- 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
- 6 medium flour tortillas
- 4 tbsp melted butter
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
Instructions
- Prepare the tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple pie filling across the center of each tortilla. Then, roll each tortilla up tightly to form taquitos.
- Brush with butter: Using a pastry brush, generously brush the outside of each rolled taquito with melted butter. This step helps the cinnamon sugar stick and contributes to a crispy texture once cooked.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar: In a shallow, flat dish, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon powder well. Roll each buttered taquito in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring full and even coverage. Rolling twice is recommended for an extra flavorful crust.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the coated taquitos seam side down in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap or touch to allow even crisping during cooking.
- Air fry the taquitos: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 9-11 minutes until golden and crispy. Use tongs to carefully flip each taquito, then air fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until they reach your preferred level of crispness.
- Cool and serve: Let the taquitos cool slightly before serving, as they will be very hot inside. Enjoy this warm and crispy dessert treat!
Notes
- Make sure the tortillas are rolled tightly to prevent filling from leaking during air frying.
- You can adjust the cinnamon and sugar ratio to suit your taste preferences.
- If your air fryer basket is small, cook the taquitos in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
- For extra flair, serve with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispiness.
