Ingredients

For The Apples

2 Apples sliced, firm apples
2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
3 tbsp Brown Sugar
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 tbsp Water

For Assembly

4 Flour Tortillas fajita size
1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

Peel and core the apples, then slice them into small pieces.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften. Stir in the vanilla. Whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl, then pour the slurry into the skillet. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until the filling thickens. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
In a bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set it aside while you assemble the taquitos.
Place a small flour tortilla on your work surface. Spoon approximately 1/4 of the apple filling in a line near one edge.
Roll the tortilla tightly around the apple filling. Place it seam-side down and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Brush the outside of each rolled tortilla with melted butter. Roll or sprinkle each taquito with the cinnamon sugar mixture until lightly coated on all sides.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray. Arrange the taquitos seam-side down in a single layer, leaving a little space between each one. Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes until the tortillas are crisp and golden.
Let the apple pie taquitos cool for several minutes before serving. Serve warm with caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or an extra sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
