Air Fryer Apple Pie Taquitos

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can apple pie filling (21 ounces) Any flavor (traditional or cinnamon-raisin) works.
- 6 pieces soft flour tortillas (medium) Burrito-size or 8-inch tortillas are best.
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted You can use melted coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
- ½ cup granulated sugar Swap half for brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon Or use apple pie spice for more complexity.
Instructions
Preparation
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spoon roughly 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling across the center of the tortilla in a line. Keep filling away from the edges to prevent leaks.
- Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, making a snug little log. Tuck the ends under slightly so the filling is enclosed.
- Brush the rolled taquito all over with melted butter. This helps the cinnamon-sugar adhere and crisps the tortilla.
- In a shallow dish, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Roll each buttered taquito in the mixture until fully coated.
Cooking
- Place the taquitos seam side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Don’t stack or overlap — give them air flow.
- Air fry at 350°F for 9–11 minutes, until the outsides are golden and starting to crisp.
- Use tongs to flip each taquito and air fry another 3–4 minutes, or until they reach your desired crispness.
- Remove carefully (hot sugar can be sticky), let cool for a minute, then serve warm.
Notes
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel for a simple à la mode. Store cooled taquitos in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
