- Place the peeled and sliced apples in a saucepan.
- Add the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water to the apples.
- Stir until the ingredients are well blended.
- Cover the saucepan and cook on medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes or until the apples are semi-soft.
- If needed, you can thicken the sauce by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 3-4 tablespoons of water. Stir this mixture into the sauce until it thickens.
Preparing the Tortilla Shells
While your apple pie filling is simmering to perfection, let’s prepare the tortilla shells. This step adds a delightful crunch to our Apple Pie Tacos.
- Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Take a flour tortilla (6″ size) and fold it in half.
- Place the bottom half of the folded tortilla into the hot oil for a few seconds.
- Lay the tortilla on one side until it’s browned, then flip it over and brown the other side.
- Once browned, remove the tortilla from the oil and sprinkle it with the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
Assembling Your Apple Pie Tacos
With the apple pie filling and tortilla shells ready, it’s time to assemble your Apple Pie Tacos.
- Fill the taco shells with the prepared apple pie filling.
- Top each taco with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle a bit more of the sugar-cinnamon mixture on top.
And there you have it, your very own Apple Pie Tacos! These sweet and crispy delights are perfect for dessert or a special treat anytime.
