Description
A fun twist on the classic apple pie, these apple pie tacos are made with crispy tortillas and filled with sweet apple pie filling, offering a delightful and interactive dessert experience.
Ingredients
- 6 small flour tortillas (4.5-inch street taco size)
- ⅓ cup salted butter, melted
- ¾ cup finely crushed vanilla wafer crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (or apple pie spice)
- 20 oz canned apple pie filling (or fresh sautéed apples)
- ¼ cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free)
- Whipped cream and caramel sauce (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush both sides of each flour tortilla generously with melted butter.
- In a shallow dish, mix the crushed vanilla wafers and cinnamon.
- Press each tortilla into the crumb mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
- Allow the coated tortillas to rest on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
- Drape the tortillas over the bars of your oven rack or place them in a taco mold.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until they turn golden and crispy.
- Remove the tortillas from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine apple pie filling and heavy cream. Stir often until warm, bubbly, and slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
- Optional: Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
- Spoon the warm apple filling into the crispy shells, letting some overflow for maximum yum.
- Top with whipped cream and drizzle caramel sauce before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider using freshly sautéed apples or experimenting with different fillings like berry or pumpkin.
