These Easy Air Fryer Apple Pie Taquitos are a quick and delicious dessert that combines the cozy flavors of apple pie in a fun, crispy roll. Using simple ingredients like apple pie filling, flour tortillas, and a cinnamon-sugar coating, these taquitos come together in minutes and cook flawlessly in the air fryer for a golden, crunchy finish.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling

Taquitos

  • 6 medium flour tortillas
  • 4 tbsp melted butter

Topping

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the entire can of apple pie filling, gently stirring to distribute the fruit evenly.
  2. Assemble the taquitos: Lay out each flour tortilla and spoon a generous amount of apple pie filling near one edge. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling to form a taquito, ensuring it is snug and sealed as best as possible.
  3. Brush with butter: Using a pastry brush, coat each rolled taquito evenly with melted butter. This helps achieve a crisp, golden texture during air frying.
  4. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon: Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the butter-coated taquitos.
  5. Air fry: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the taquitos in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook for 8-12 minutes until the tortillas are golden brown and crisp.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the taquitos from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a rack before serving to avoid burns and to allow the filling to set.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can spray the taquitos lightly with cooking spray before air frying.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent twist.
  • Use fresh cinnamon for a more pronounced flavor.
  • Ensure not to overfill tortillas to avoid filling spill-out during cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
