Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
Taquitos
- 6 medium flour tortillas
- 4 tbsp melted butter
Coating
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
Instructions
- Prepare Tortillas and Filling: 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, brush the outside of each rolled taquito generously with melted butter. This helps the cinnamon sugar adhere and also makes the taquitos extra crispy.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon powder until combined. Roll each buttered taquito in the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating the outside fully and evenly. For an extra flavorful crust, roll them twice.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the coated taquitos seam side down in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap or touch to allow for even crisping.
- Air Fry: Air fry the taquitos at 350°F (175°C) for 9-11 minutes until they start to become golden and crispy. Then, use tongs to flip each taquito over and air fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the desired crispness is achieved.
- Cool and Serve: Let the taquitos cool slightly before serving as they will be extra hot inside. Enjoy your crispy, sweet apple pie taquitos warm!
Notes
- Ensure tortillas are tightly rolled to prevent filling from spilling out during cooking.
- Brush the taquitos well with melted butter to achieve a crispy, golden crust.
- Rolling twice in cinnamon sugar creates a more flavorful and crunchy coating.
- Check taquitos halfway through cooking and adjust air fryer time based on your model for perfect crispness.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for an extra indulgent dessert.
