Deliciously crispy taquitos filled with sweet cinnamon apples, perfect for a family meal or cozy treat.
Ingredients
For the Filling
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp work well.
- 1/4 cup brown sugar Can be reduced for a lighter treat.
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon Adds warmth and classic apple pie flavor.
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice Keeps apples from browning.
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional) Pecans or walnuts add crunch.
For Assembly
- 6 medium flour tortillas Provides the base for the taquitos.
- 1 spray oil spray Essential for crispiness.
- powdered sugar for dusting powdered sugar Optional for a sweet finishing touch.
Instructions
Preparation of Apple Filling
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix well until the apples are well-coated.
Rolling the Taquitos
- Lay one tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the apple mixture onto the center.
- Roll the tortilla tightly but not too tight to keep the filling from spilling out. Place seam-side down on a baking tray.
- Repeat the process until all tortillas are filled and rolled.
Cooking
- Spray the rolled taquitos lightly with oil for crispiness.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place taquitos in the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy.
Serving
- Once cooked, carefully remove the taquitos from the air fryer. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat in the air fryer for about 5 minutes to retain crispiness. You can also improvise with different fruits or add spices to the filling.
