These Easy Air Fryer Apple Pie Taquitos are a quick and delicious dessert or snack that combines warm apple pie filling wrapped in crispy flour tortillas, all made conveniently in an air fryer. With a buttery cinnamon-sugar coating, these taquitos deliver a perfect balance of sweet and crunchy in every bite.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling

Taquitos

  • 6 medium flour tortillas
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, ensure the apple pie filling is ready and slightly stirred for even distribution inside the taquitos.
  2. Assemble the taquitos: Lay out each flour tortilla flat, spoon an appropriate amount of apple pie filling onto one side, then tightly roll the tortilla to form a taquito.
  3. Brush with butter: Using a brush, generously coat each rolled taquito with melted butter to help achieve a golden, crispy texture when air fried.
  4. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon: Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon powder together in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the butter-coated taquitos for added sweetness and flavor.
  5. Air fry: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the taquitos in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded, and cook for 8-12 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and crisp.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the taquitos from the air fryer and let them cool slightly for a few minutes. Serve warm for the best taste and enjoy your crispy, sweet apple pie taquitos.

Notes

  • Ensure tortillas are tightly rolled to prevent filling from leaking during air frying.
  • You can adjust the cinnamon amount to suit your taste preference.
  • For added texture, consider sprinkling chopped nuts before air frying.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, these can be baked in an oven at 400°F for 12-15 minutes until golden.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for an indulgent twist.
