Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 can apple pie filling (21 ounces)
Wraps
- 6 medium soft flour tortillas
Coating
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the tortillas and filling: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling across the center of each tortilla.
- Roll the taquitos: Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to form a taquito, ensuring the filling is sealed inside.
- Butter the taquitos: Brush the exterior of each rolled taquito generously with melted butter to help the coating stick and promote browning.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar: In a shallow, flat dish, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll each buttered taquito in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating them evenly on all sides.
- Place in air fryer: Arrange the taquitos seam side down in the air fryer basket, making sure not to stack or overlap them to ensure even cooking.
- Air fry first side: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 9 to 11 minutes until the taquitos are golden brown and starting to crisp.
- Flip and finish air frying: Using tongs, carefully flip each taquito over and continue air frying for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the taquitos from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Perfect on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Make sure not to overfill the tortillas to prevent filling leakage during air frying.
- Use soft flour tortillas for easy rolling and better texture.
- If you prefer a softer crust, reduce air frying time slightly.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg in the cinnamon sugar mix.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispiness.
