Apple Pie Taquitos

I have a crazy sweet tooth. I could totally eat dessert after every meal and I have zero willpower to resist a good dessert.

Pie is always the top pick for dessert at our house. However, I haven’t had much time to make an actual pie lately. Saturday morning I decided the house cleaning could wait.

It had been a really long week and I needed a sweet treat. These Apple Pie Taquitos were reminiscent of our favorite skillet apple pie but so much easier and so much quicker. It was practically instant gratification.

Taquitos are one of my favorites from the Mexican restaurant and I make them homemade for lunch quite often. I just can’t resist that crunchy goodness.

One of my favorite homemade variations is with barbecue chicken. Up until now I hadn’t really thought about making a dessert taquito.

I keep both flour and corn tortillas on hand and thought the corn tortillas would add a more interesting taste to these dessert taquitos.

The combination was a bit unusual and I wasn’t sure if it would work but the whole family really loved them. You could do the same with flour tortillas if you are not feeling so adventurous.

The ingredients are simply made with a can of apple pie filling that is rolled into corn tortillas, fried in oil, and then rolled in cinnamon and sugar.

I topped them off with homemade salted caramel sauce and some sweetened whipped cream. A scoop of vanilla ice cream would also be a fantastic way to top these.

My sweet tooth was finally satisfied with these crunchy dessert taquitos and my family thought it was just as tasty as their favorite apple pie.
