Apple Pie Taquitos


I love these Apple Pie Taquitos!  They taste a lot like apple pie but so much quicker and easier to make! They are slightly crispy on the outside and all the flavors of a delicious apple pie. They only require a few ingredients too.


Here is all that is needed to make this recipe:  Apple pie filling, flour tortillas, melted butter, cinnamon sugar.


Place a couple tablespoons of apple pie filling on a tortilla.  Fold up tortilla. 


Brush the outside with melted butter.


Roll the tortilla in cinnamon-sugar mixture. 


Place the taquitos into a 9x13 baking dish.  ( In this photo I reduced the recipe to make just 4 and used a smaller baking dish)  Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees until starting to turn golden brown. Serve while still warm.  Drizzle with caramel sauce, if desired.

Ingredients:
20 ounce can apple pie filling
12 flour tortillas
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Brush a 9x13 baking dish with some of the melted butter.
  2. In a shallow bowl mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
  3. Empty the can of pie filling onto a cutting board and chop the apples into smaller pieces with a knife.
  4. Lay a tortilla flat and top with a couple tablespoons of the apple pie filling. Tightly roll up the tortilla. Brush the taquito with butter the roll it through the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Place the taquito in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and apple pie filling. You should have enough filling for the 12 tortillas.
  5. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the taquitos start to turn golden brown.
