📋 Ingredients:

For the Taco Shells:

  • 🌿 8 small flour tortillas
  • 🧈 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 🍬 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 🌿 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Apple Filling:

  • 🍏 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 🧈 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 🍬 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 🍯 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 🌿 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 🌿 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 🍋 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 🌾 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 🥛 2 tablespoons water

For the Topping:

  • 🥛 Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
  • 🌿 Caramel sauce (optional)

📝 Directions:

Prepare the Taco Shells:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar:
    In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together.
  3. Brush Tortillas:
    Brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter, then sprinkle both sides generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  4. Shape and Bake:
    Drape each tortilla over two bars of the oven rack to create a taco shape. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tortillas are crisp and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Prepare the Apple Filling:

  1. Cook Apples:
    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Thicken Filling:
    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the apple mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the filling has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Assemble the Tacos:

  1. Fill Shells:
    Spoon the apple filling into each taco shell.
  2. Add Toppings:
    Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.

💡 Notes:

  • For extra crunch, you can add a sprinkle of chopped nuts on top.
  • If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the amount of sugar in the apple filling.
  • These tacos are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven before serving to retain their crispiness.

Enjoy your delicious and fun Apple Pie Tacos!
