- 6-inch flour tortillas
- canned apple pie filling
- unsalted melted butter
- granulated sugar
- ground cinnamon
- Prepare Your Workspace and Ingredients: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. In a small bowl, melt your butter. In another shallow dish, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for your cinnamon sugar coating. Give it a good whisk. Open your canned apple pie filling and give it a gentle stir. If the apple chunks are very large, chop them to make them easier to roll into the tortillas.
- Warm the Tortillas: Stack your flour tortillas and microwave them for about 15-30 seconds, or until they are warm and flexible. You can also wrap them in foil and warm them in a low oven for a few minutes.
- Fill and Roll the Taquitos: Lay one warm tortilla flat on your work surface. Spoon about 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of apple pie filling onto one edge of the tortilla. Leave about half an inch free at the top and bottom of the filling. Starting from the side with the filling, tightly roll the tortilla up into a taquito shape. Place it seam-side down on a plate. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Butter and Coat: Brush all sides of each taquito generously with the melted butter. Roll the buttered taquito in your cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated on all sides. Place it back on the plate or a clean tray. Continue with the rest of your taquitos.
- Air Fry to Golden Perfection: Carefully place the cinnamon sugar-coated taquitos into your preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 8-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Halfway through the cooking time, gently flip them over to ensure even crisping on all sides. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, carefully remove the taquitos from the air fryer basket and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.
