Apple Pie Tacos are such a fun twist on a classic apple pie recipe!
The shells of these tacos are made from tortillas cut with a round cookie cutter and fried crisp and dusted with cinnamon sugar. They only take about 20 seconds each to make and can be made days ahead of time.
REPIN APPLE PIE TACOS
I made a homemade filling but you can definitely use the canned filling to make these quick! If you are having a party, you can keep the filling warm in a small slow cooker with the shells beside and people can fill them as they like or set a mini muffin tin upside down and cover it with a pretty cloth napkin as a holder (that is what I used in the photos above, worked perfectly!)
Ingredients :
4 Apples peeled & sliced
½ C Sugar
2 tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp Nutmeg
½ C Water
Tortilla’s (flour) 6″ size
Oil (for frying tortillas)
1/2 c sugar-cinnamon mixture
Whipped cream

These Apple Pie Tacos are an awesome little dessert. The shell comes out nice and crunchy with the perfect apple pie filling. The first time I ever made these it was just for the wife and I (usually that’s how a new recipe goes so we can see if it is worthy of family, friends, and neighbors). The next time around we gave some to the neighbors and well it was even more of a hit than we thought they would be. So if you want to wow some guests with a really fun and cute dessert that taste amazing this is the recipe for you.
How To Make Apple Pie Tacos
Place apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water in a saucepan.
Stir until well blended and cover and cook on medium stirring frequently
For 10 minutes or until apples are semi-soft. If needed, thicken sauce using
1 Tbl of cornstarch to 3-4 Tbl of water. Mix into sauce and stir until thickened.
Heat oil on medium heat in a skillet and holding the tortilla folded in half, place the bottom on the tortilla in the oil for a few seconds.
