What Are Apple Pie Taquitos?
Apple pie taquitos are a fun twist on the classic American dessert. Instead of a pie crust, you roll sweet apple filling in soft tortillas, brush with butter, and bake until golden and crisp. The result tastes like handheld bites of apple pie — only faster, lighter, and easier to make.
They’re perfect for desserts, quick snacks, or even a cozy fall breakfast. Plus, you only need a few ingredients and about 25 minutes from start to finish.

How To Make Apple Pie Taquitos
Step 1 – Prep and Fill
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lay out your tortillas and spoon about 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling onto each one. Try to spread the filling evenly so it rolls smoothly.
Step 2 – Roll and Coat
Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle generously with your cinnamon sugar mixture.
Step 3 – Bake Until Golden
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until crisp and golden. For that irresistible crunch, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end. Keep a close eye so they don’t overbrown.
Quick tip: Parchment paper keeps them from sticking and makes cleanup easy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with:
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream
- A swirl of whipped cream
- A drizzle of caramel or a dusting of powdered sugar
They make a great party dessert and look lovely on a fall-themed platter.
Tips for Best Results
- Use small tortillas for easier rolling and even crisping.
- Avoid overfilling — too much filling can burst during baking.
- Let them cool slightly before serving so the filling sets.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in an oven or air fryer for that crispy bite again.
