Air Fryer Apple Pie Taquitos
Air Fryer Apple Pie Taquitos- this flour tortilla dessert recipe is stuffed full of fresh apple cinnamon filling. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce and you have an amazing fall dessert.
The flour tortillas get so crisp and taste wonderfully buttery. They are sprinkled with cinnamon sugar just after being air fried for extra flavor.
Easy Apple Filling
The easy apple filling can be made in under 30 minutes. It can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until needed. To make it, mix together some water and cornstarch. Add sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Add two diced apples and cook 5 to 7 minutes to soften the apples some. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, lemon juice and salt.
What Kind Of Apples To Use
Granny Smith apples work really well for this recipe. Their tartness pairs well with the sugar and cinnamon. Gala and Honeycrisp also work well.
Air Frying Taquitos
I love air frying taquitos. With just a light brush of melted butter they get wonderfully golden and crispy in a short amount of time.
Cooking Time
Different brands and models of air fryers will have different cooking times. I use the Cosori 5.8-quart Air fryer. These taquitos should take 7 to 9 minutes to get crispy and golden. Be sure to take a peak at them before the 7 minute mark. That is one of the things I love most about air frying. You can peak at the food without affecting the cooking time much.
