Apple Pie Tacos are a fun, handheld dessert twist on traditional apple pie. Crisp cinnamon-sugar taco shells are filled with warm spiced apple filling and topped with whipped cream or ice cream for a cozy, crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

  • 6 small flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp butter or neutral oil (for frying or brushing)
  • 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar mixture
  • 3 medium apples, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp butter (for cooking the filling)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (dissolved in 1 tbsp water)
  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Warm or lightly fry the tortillas until they start to crisp, then coat them in the cinnamon sugar mixture and fold into taco shapes while warm. Set aside to cool and firm up.
  2. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and optional lemon juice. Cook until apples are soft, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Stir in the cornstarch-water mixture and simmer until the apple filling thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Spoon the warm apple filling into the prepared taco shells.
  5. Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream before serving.

Notes

  • Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for balanced flavor.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture.
  • Taco shells can be baked for a lighter option.
  • Variations include using peaches, pears, caramel sauce, or crushed cookies as toppings.
  • Store leftover filling in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently before use.
