Apple Pie Tacos are a fun twist on the classic apple pie recipe. A cinnamon sugared shell filled with an easy homemade apple filling and a drizzle of caramel sauce over the top.

I received complimentary product from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #FallFlavors Week recipes. All opinions are mine alone. #ad #sponsored

It’s the first day of #FallFlavors week – a week where food bloggers are going to wow you with recipes using all the fall foods with the help of some awesome sponsors.  Sponsors that generously provided us with products to use in our creations, plus a wonderful giveaway with SIX prize packages to be won. At the end of this post, you will find the giveaway and how to enter plus all of today’s recipes linked up.

I’m starting the week with these delicious apple pie tacos.  I used Dixie Crystals sugar in this recipe for the apple filling and the cinnamon sugar mixture on the shells. It’s the only sugar I use for whenever recipes call for sugar, brown sugar, or powdered sugar.  Torani’s Green Apple Puremade Syrup gave the apple pie filling a little bit of tartness that complimented the sweetness of the taco shell. I also used Torani’s Caramel Puremade Syrup to drizzle over the sweet tacos.  It’s also so good drizzled in your coffee! 

How to make cinnamon sugar taco shells

Not all recipes with soft taco shells need to be savory.  Making a sweet mini taco with them is easy to do.  I used a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut rounds out from the flour tortilla shells.  Side note: the scraps can be used to make cinnamon sugar chips to snack on.

The next step is to combine the 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a bowl. 

Then toss the tortilla rounds in the mixture to coat.

Once that is done, you will 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.  Side note: these mini sweet shells can be filled with many sweet fillings like ice cream, any fruit pie filling, and more. Try these Pina Colada Tacos!

How to make apple pie filling

Peel, core, and dice 4 apples.  I used Gala apples but Honeycrisp, or Fuji apples all work great in this recipe.  Be sure to dice the apples small enough that they will fit into the mini shells.  Mine were about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch cubes.

In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, 2 tablespoons Torani Green Apple Puremade Syrup, 1/2 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix well.  

Heat a skillet on medium heat and melt two tablespoons coconut oil.  Add the apple mixture and sauté for 5- 10 minutes until soft. Time will depend on how small your cuts are so be sure to test to see if the apples are done at the 5 minute mark.  Once done, cool slightly and then fill the shells with the apple filling.  Drizzle Torani’s Caramel sauce over the tacos and top each with a maraschino cherry. 

Tips for Apple Pie Tacos 

You can substitute a canned apple pie filling in place of making homemade filling. Use a 21-ounce can and dice the apple pieces into smaller pieces before use.

Make ahead tip: 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.
