Ingredients
- Flour Tortillas
- Granny Smith Apples (or Honeycrisp/Fuji)
- Granulated Sugar (or Brown Sugar)
- Cinnamon
- Butter (or Coconut Oil)
- Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Begin by peeling, coring, and dicing your apples into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the apples are coated evenly.
- Assemble the Taquitos: Take a tortilla and place a spoonful of the apple mixture near one edge. Roll it tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Coat with Butter: Brush the rolled taquitos with melted butter on all sides. This step is crucial for achieving that golden, crispy exterior.
- Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. Once heated, place the taquitos in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they aren’t touching. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Once they're done, carefully remove the taquitos from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
