Air fryer apple pie taquitos are a delicious dessert that combines the flavors of apple pie with a crispy, handheld shell. Here’s a recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Cooking spray
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the apples are tender, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cornstarch. Add this mixture to the cooked apples and stir well until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place a tortilla on a flat surface and spoon a portion of the apple filling onto one end of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, folding in the sides as you go. Secure the end with a toothpick to hold it in place. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the apple pie taquitos in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Air fry the taquitos at 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
- Once the taquitos are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly. Carefully remove the toothpicks.
- Dust the apple pie taquitos with powdered sugar before serving. You can serve them as is or with a side of caramel sauce, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream for dipping.
Enjoy your delicious air fryer apple pie taquitos!
