Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 2 cups diced Granny Smith apples (about 23 apples)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare your apples: Peel and dice the apples, then toss them with brown sugar and cinnamon. Let sit to draw out juices.
  2. Assemble taquitos: Place a spoonful of the apple mixture on one edge of each tortilla and roll tightly.
  3. Heat oil: In a skillet over medium heat, add enough oil to cover the bottom until it shimmers.
  4. Fry taquitos: Carefully add taquitos seam-side down; fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Drizzle caramel: Remove from skillet, drain on paper towels, and drizzle warm caramel over each taquito.
  6. Dust with powdered sugar: Finish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.

Keywords: Use fresh Granny Smith apples for optimal flavor and texture. Feel free to experiment with spices like nutmeg or try chocolate sauce instead of caramel for a twist. Serve warm alongside vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat!
