Method

  1. 1

    Cut each large flour tortilla into 6–7 circles using a 3‑inch cookie cutter.

  2. 2

    Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over high heat until it shimmers.

  3. 3

    Fry each tortilla circle for 6–10 seconds, flip, fold into a taco shape, and fry for another minute until golden and crisp.

  4. 4

    Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl; dip the fried shells in the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated, then set aside.

  5. 5

    Peel and dice the apples into small chunks.

  6. 6

    Melt butter in a pan over medium heat, add the diced apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and water; cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften, about 5–7 minutes.

  7. 7

    In a small cup, dissolve cornstarch in a little cold water, then stir it into the apple mixture; continue cooking until the filling thickens and most liquid evaporates, about 2–3 minutes.

  8. 8

    Spoon a generous amount of the warm apple filling into each prepared taco shell; optionally top with caramel sauce, whipped cream, or a scoop of ice cream.

  9. 9

    Serve the apple pie tacos warm as a handheld dessert.

Tips while you cook

Pre‑mix cornstarch with cold water
Dissolve cornstarch in a little cold water before stirring it into the hot apple mixture.
Cook until most liquid evaporates
Continue cooking the apple filling for 2–3 minutes after adding cornstarch until the mixture thickens and most moisture evaporates.
