Ingredients

• 1 can (21 ounces) apple pie filling
• 6 soft medium flour tortillas
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Prepare the Filling: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling across the center of each tortilla.
2. Roll the Taquitos: Tightly roll each tortilla around the filling to create a taquito shape. Ensure the ends are tucked in to keep the filling inside during cooking.
3. Butter the Taquitos: Brush the entire surface of each rolled taquito generously with melted butter. This will help the cinnamon sugar adhere and ensure a golden, crispy finish.
4. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll each buttered taquito in the mixture until fully coated.
5. Air Fry to Perfection: Place the taquitos seam side down in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not stacked or overlapping. Air fry at 350°F for 9-11 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
6. Final Crisp: Use tongs to flip the taquitos, then air fry for an additional 3-4 minutes to achieve your desired level of crispness.

Tips for Success

• Avoid Overfilling: Be careful not to overfill the tortillas, as this can cause them to burst during cooking.
• Use Tongs Carefully: When flipping the taquitos, use tongs gently to avoid breaking them.
• Serve Immediately: For the best texture, serve the taquitos hot and fresh out of the air fryer.
