Apple Pie Tacos
Try these easy Apple Pie Tacos for a fun twist on a classic dessert. Crispy shells, warm apple filling, caramel drizzle, and whipped cream make them irresistible.

Apple pie has always been a classic, but I wanted to make something a little different for our family dessert night. That’s how I ended up making these apple pie tacos. They combine everything I love about a warm apple pie with the fun of a handheld treat. When I served them the first time, the room went quiet except for the sound of happy chewing.
The beauty of this recipe is in the simplicity. You get that buttery cinnamon apple filling tucked inside a crispy shell, drizzled with caramel, and topped with whipped cream. It feels like a dessert you’d find at a fair but made right in your own kitchen.
These tacos were such a hit that my wife asked me to make them again the next day. Even my grandkids were impressed, which says a lot. If you’re looking for a dessert that’s easy, fun, and guaranteed to please, this one will do the trick every time.
Questions You May Have About This Recipe

What kind of tortillas should I use?
Use small flour tortillas for the best texture. Corn tortillas tend to break when fried.
Can I make the filling ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the apple filling a day ahead and refrigerate it until ready to use.
How do I keep the taco shells crispy?
Let them cool completely after frying and store them in a single layer until you’re ready to fill them.
What kind of apples work best?
Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples are perfect because they stay firm and have a nice balance of sweetness and tartness.
Can I bake the tortillas instead of frying?
Yes, brush them with butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and bake at 400°F for 6 to 8 minutes until crisp.
What You Need to Make Apple Pie Tacos

6 small flour tortillas
3 medium apples, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ cup caramel sauce
Whipped cream for topping
Cinnamon sugar for coating
Oil for frying
How to Make Apple Pie Tacos

In a skillet, melt butter and add diced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Cook until apples are soft, about 8 minutes.
Mix cornstarch with water and stir into apples. Cook until thickened, then add lemon juice. Set aside.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry tortillas one at a time until golden and crisp. While still warm, coat in cinnamon sugar.
Spoon apple filling into each taco shell. Drizzle with caramel sauce.
Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar before serving.
Tips

Make sure the oil is hot enough so the tortillas fry quickly and don’t soak up too much oil.
If you don’t want to fry, use an air fryer for a lighter version.
Use homemade caramel sauce if you have it for extra flavor.
Keep extra filling on hand for topping pancakes or ice cream later.
These are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in a toaster oven.
