Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
Wraps
- 6 medium flour tortillas
Coating
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
Instructions
- Fill and Roll the Tortillas: Lay the 6 medium flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple pie filling evenly across the center of each tortilla. Then, roll each tortilla tightly to form taquitos, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed.
- Brush with Butter: Using a pastry brush, generously coat the outside of each rolled taquito with 4 tablespoons of melted butter. This step adds flavor, helps the cinnamon sugar adhere, and results in an extra crispy exterior during cooking.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder until well combined. Roll each buttered taquito thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture, making sure the coating covers the entire surface. For an intensified flavor crust, roll them twice.
- Air Fry the Taquitos: Place the coated taquitos seam side down in the air fryer basket without overlapping to ensure even crisping. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 9-11 minutes until they start to turn golden and crispy. Use tongs to flip each taquito, then continue air frying for another 3-4 minutes to achieve your preferred crispness. Allow them to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns as they will be hot inside.
Notes
- Use medium-sized flour tortillas for easy rolling and optimal filling-to-tortilla ratio.
- Double rolling in the cinnamon sugar results in a more flavorful and crunchy crust.
- Ensure taquitos do not overlap in the air fryer basket for even cooking.
- Let the taquitos cool slightly after air frying to avoid burns from the hot filling.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for an indulgent dessert experience.
