Apple Pie Tacos Recipe

These easy to make Apple Pie Tacos are a fun twist on the classic apple pie. Made with a delicious homemade apple pie filling and a cinnamon sugar tortilla shell, drizzled with caramel sauce, and served with a cherry on top. These delightful tacos make a perfect dessert recipe to add a touch of sweetness to any occasion.

Apple Pie Tacos will make you forget everything you thought you knew about dessert. Seriously. We’re talking warm, gooey apple pie filling snuggled inside a crispy, cinnamon-sugar dusted taco shell. Prepare for your taste buds to do a happy dance.

When I made these apple cinnamon tacos for dessert one night it became an instant hit even more than my air fryer chocolate glazed apple hand pies and this skillet apple pie biscuits recipe. The apple-filled tortilla shells are perfect for any taco night you may have or just because you crave a little something sweet.

Apple Pie Tacos

This recipe does have a few ingredients that you may not have in your pantry but they are easily found and can be used in many other recipes. In making the cooked apples I used green apple syrup in the pie filling. I drizzled some caramel syrup over the tacos before adding a marachino cherry.

You can use a variety of apples in this recipe. I used Gala apples but Honeycrisp, or Fuji apples all work great.

The filling for these tacos comes together quickly on the stovetop and making the shells is just as easy and quick. Assembling the little desserts is simple and fast, too.

Timesaving Tips and Variations

• I used a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut rounds out from the flour tortilla shells.
• The tortilla scraps can be used to make cinnamon sugar chips to snack on.
• You’ll use a regular sized muffin pan turned upside down to make the shells.
• Fill the mini sweet shells with other foods like ice cream, any fruit pie filling, and more.
• You can bake the taco shells and prepare the filling a day in advance. When it’s time to serve, heat the filling up and assemble the tacos.
• Substitute a canned apple pie filling in place of making homemade. Use a 21-ounce can and dice the apple pieces into smaller pieces before use.

These tips will help you make the recipe a success and give you other ideas for the sweet treats.

How to Make Apple Pie Tacos

Start by cutting your shells out with the biscuit cutter from large flour tortillas. In a bowl, combine melted coconut oil, cinnamon and sugar. Add cut-out pieces of tortillas and coat with the mixture.

Use the back side of a muffin tin to form the mini taco shells. Then bake them for 5 – 6 minutes.  Allow them to cool completely before removing from the muffin tin.

While they’re cooling, peel, core, and dice 4 apples into small cubes. Combine the diced apples, Green Apple Syrup, sugar, and cinnamon.  In a skillet sauté apples, cool, fill shells, drizzle caramel, and top with cherry.
