How To Make Apple Pie Taquitos

The base of this recipe is the easy apple pie filling. Within ten minutes it is done. Start this recipe by brushing the taquitos with oil or melted vegan butter, this is also an option.
If you are vegan just use vegan butter or vegetable oil before sprinkling the sugar and cinnamon.
Make the apple pie filling and let it cool for a couple of minutes before using it in this recipe.
Take the tortilla and add a couple of tablespoons of apple pie filling to the side of the tortilla.
This will ensure the filling is in the middle of the taquito. Roll the taquito real tight and put it in an oven dish.
Preheat the oven to 400℉/200℃ and bake them in a hot oven so the sugar can melt. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Serve while hot with some agave syrup or caramel sauce. There is nothing better than the crunch of the tortilla, followed by the softness of the apple pie filling.

Sweet Taquitos Recipe

Tortillas are so versatile that they go very well within a savory dish as well as in a sweet dish. That is why I am sharing these oven-baked amazing apple pie taquitos. This filling adds something special to the recipe.

How To Store Apple Taquitos

If you make a big batch of apple taquitos you can store them. You have several ways:

Refrigerator – if you plan on serving them within a day you can store them in the fridge. Tortillas tend to dry out in the fridge so store the taquitos in an airtight food container
Freezer – you can also store them in the freezer. This is recommended. Store them in a freezer-friendly food container. The apple pie filling will release a lot of liquid when thawed so it is best to reheat them from frozen else you get really soggy tortillas
