Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 20 ounces Apple Pie Filling
Taquitos
- 12 medium-sized Soft Flour Tortillas
- ¼ cup Butter (melted)
- ½ cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the taquitos.
- Melt butter: In a small bowl, melt ¼ cup of butter until fully liquid to use for brushing the tortillas.
- Mix cinnamon sugar: In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon, creating a flavorful cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Butter tortillas: Take each soft flour tortilla and brush one side generously with the melted butter; this will help the cinnamon sugar stick and crisp during baking.
- Add cinnamon sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered side of each tortilla, coating it well for sweetness and flavor.
- Fill tortillas: Place a spoonful of the apple pie filling in the center of the sugar-coated side of each tortilla to create the filling.
- Fold taquitos: Fold the tortillas to enclose the filling securely, ensuring the seam is sealed to prevent filling from leaking out.
- Arrange in dish: Position the folded taquitos seam side down in a baking dish to keep them closed and maintain shape while baking.
- Brush with remaining butter: Brush any leftover melted butter on top of the tortillas for additional crispness and flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can flip the taquitos halfway through baking.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for a decadent dessert.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
- You can substitute the apple pie filling with other fruit fillings like cherry or peach.
