Warm, spiced apples wrapped in a golden, crispy tortilla… this is comfort food with a lighter breakfast twist! 🤎
These little apple taquitos are crispy on the outside, soft and cinnamon-sweet inside, and incredibly easy to make in the air fryer. They’re perfect for a cozy weekend breakfast, a quick snack, or even a simple dessert.
Ingredients:
2 apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
6 small flour tortillas
1 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp granulated sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
How to Make Them:
1. Cook the diced apples with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a pan for about 5–7 minutes, until tender.
2. Spoon the warm apple mixture onto each tortilla and roll tightly.
3. Brush the outside lightly with melted butter.
4. Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the taquitos.
5. Place them seam-side down in the air fryer basket.
6. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes, until golden and crisp. Check early, as air fryers vary.
What to Serve With:
Try them with a spoonful of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a little warm caramel sauce for an extra-special breakfast.
✨ Secret ingredient: A tiny pinch of nutmeg makes the cinnamon-apple filling taste even warmer and more bakery-like.
