These Air Fryer Apple Pie Taquitos are a quick and delicious dessert that combines the warm flavors of cinnamon and apple pie filling with the crispiness of air-fried tortillas. Perfectly golden and easy to make, they offer a delightful treat in under 30 minutes.

  • Total Time: 23 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Taquito Filling

  • 1 can apple pie filling, 21 ounces

Taquito Wrapping & Coating

  • 6 soft flour tortillas, medium
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tortillas: Lay the soft flour tortillas flat on a clean surface, ready to be filled.
  2. Fill the Tortillas: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling across the center of each tortilla, spreading it evenly but leaving some space at the edges for rolling.
  3. Roll the Taquitos: Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to form taquitos, securing the filling inside.
  4. Butter Coating: Brush each rolled taquito generously with melted butter to help the coating stick and to add crispness when cooked.
  5. Sugar and Cinnamon Coating: In a shallow dish, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon, then roll the buttered taquitos in this mixture to coat the outside evenly.
  6. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the coated taquitos seam side down in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap or stack to ensure even cooking.
  7. Air Fry the Taquitos: Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook the taquitos for 9 to 11 minutes until they turn golden and crispy on one side.
  8. Flip and Finish Cooking: Use tongs to carefully flip the taquitos over, then air fry for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until the other side is equally crispy and golden.
  9. Serve Warm: Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Be sure not to overfill the tortillas to prevent them from bursting during cooking.
  • Use medium-sized soft flour tortillas for easier rolling and crispier results.
  • Butter helps the cinnamon-sugar coating stick and creates a golden crust, but you can use a butter substitute for a dairy-free option.
  • Keep taquitos in a single layer in the air fryer basket for the crispiest finish.
  • These dessert taquitos are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated briefly in the air fryer for crispness.
