Apple Pie Taquitos

Because it’s a weekday, let’s celebrate with something sweet, why not. And because these apple pie taquitos are so easy to make, that you can make them on a weekday, in the morning, after work, whatever strikes your fancy. But even better than that, these taquitos are so good, you’ll thank me.

I have to tell you, I had fun making these taquitos. They only require 5 simple ingredients; apple pie filling, sugar, cinnamon, butter and tortillas. All the makings of a great apple pie, but in an adorable taquito form. I have to admit the idea is simply genius.

What Are Taquitos?

It’s essentially just a rolled up taco, that’s it! You fill a tortilla with whatever filling your heart desires, roll it up and crisp it. I took some creative license today and stuffed these full of apple pie filling, we’re turning savory into sweet and believe me it’s beyond worth it.

I drizzled mine with some caramel sauce because that’s just how I roll. Not saying you need the caramel sauce, but I just think of ways to take something amazing and make them more decadent.

Ingredients In Apple Pie Taquitos

Detailed measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

• Apple pie filling – One entire 20 oz can of apple pie filling.
• Tortillas – I used medium sized flour tortillas.
• Butter – Unsalted so as to control the sodium content of our dish.
• Cinnamon – To boost that apple pie flavor and create dimension and complexity.
• Sugar – White granulated sugar to give us a clean sweet flavor to our dessert.

How To Make Apple Pie Taquitos

Detailed measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

1. Preheat oven: To 350 F degrees. Brush a 9×13 baking dish with some of the melted butter.
2. Prep the filling: In a shallow plate mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Empty the can of pie filling onto a cutting board and chop the apples into smaller pieces with a knife.
3. Assemble the taquitos: 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.
4. Finish the dish: Bake for about 15 minutes or until the taquitos start to get golden on top. Serve with caramel sauce if preferred.

Want To Make These Taquitos Even More Special?

Some drizzled chocolate sauce would go beautifully over top, Nutella, maybe a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or some shaved chocolate, and a dollop of whipped cream. I think I better stop there before I run down to the kitchen and finish the rest of these off.

What Else Can I Use In My Taquitos?

Feel free to use whichever filling you’d prefer for this recipe. This sweet taquito tastes so completely scrumptious with any number of pie fillings. Berries, pecans, raisins, cherries, pumpkin, whatever your heart desires!

Storing Leftover Taquitos

You can store these for up to 3 days sealed in an airtight container. Warm in the microwave or reheat in the oven before eating.

Can I Make These Taquitos Ahead?

For making ahead meals, you could prepare these as noted in the instructions up to and including step 4, cover the baking dish and freeze until ready for baking. Thaw out before baking.
