These Easy Air Fryer Apple Pie Taquitos are a delicious and quick dessert made with warm apple pie filling wrapped in crispy flour tortillas, dusted with cinnamon sugar, and perfectly cooked in the air fryer for a golden, crunchy finish. Perfect for a sweet snack or an easy-to-make treat.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling

Taquitos

  • 6 medium flour tortillas
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Combine the entire can of apple pie filling in a bowl to get it ready for assembly.
  2. Assemble the taquitos: Place an even amount of apple pie filling onto each tortilla, then roll each tortilla tightly around the filling.
  3. Brush with butter: Using a pastry brush, evenly coat each rolled taquito with the melted butter to help them crisp up beautifully while cooking.
  4. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon: In a separate bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon powder, then sprinkle or gently roll the butter-coated taquitos in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat them evenly.
  5. Air fry: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the taquitos in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap, and cook for 8-12 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the taquitos to cool slightly before enjoying them warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature tortillas for easier rolling and less cracking.
  • Adjust the air frying time slightly depending on the size of your taquitos and your specific air fryer model.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for an extra indulgent dessert.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to maintain crispiness.
