If you prefer a thicker, stickier filling, sprinkle cornstarch at the end and stir.
Add vanilla and let the mixture cool slightly.
2. Assemble the Taquitos
Place a spoonful of apple filling on each tortilla.
Roll tightly like a taquito and brush the outside with melted butter.
Roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
3. Air Fry to Crispy Perfection
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Place taquitos seam-side down in the basket, making sure they don’t overlap.
Air fry for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
4. Serve Warm and Enjoy
Drizzle with caramel, dust with powdered sugar, or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips for Perfect Apple Pie Taquitos
Cut apples into small pieces so they cook quickly.
Do not overfill — it makes rolling harder.
Brush tortillas with butter to help cinnamon sugar stick and crisp.
Add a splash of lemon juice if you want a slightly tart filling.
Use corn tortillas only if softened first (flour works best).
