Apple pie tacos are a creative and delicious twist on traditional apple pie. Here’s a simple recipe to make apple pie tacos:
Ingredients:
For the Apple Filling:
- 4 large apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
For the Taco Shells:
- 6 small flour tortillas (6-inch)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional Toppings:
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
- Caramel sauce
- Chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Apple Filling:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
- Cook the apples, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not mushy, about 8-10 minutes.
- If desired, stir in the cornstarch mixture to thicken the filling. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Taco Shells:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease both sides of each tortilla with melted butter.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle both sides of each tortilla with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Carefully drape each tortilla over two oven racks, creating a taco shell shape. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Assemble the Apple Pie Tacos:
- Fill each taco shell with a generous spoonful of the prepared apple filling.
- Optionally, top the apple filling with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, drizzle with caramel sauce, and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the apple pie tacos immediately while still warm. Enjoy the delicious combination of crispy taco shells and sweet, spiced apple filling!
