Can I bake the shells?

Yes! Instead of frying you can dip the tortillas in melted butter, then in the cinnamon sugar mixture and place them in a muffin tin upside, you want to place the shells in the upside-down muffin tin indents and bake until golden brown for 10-15 minutes on 350.

Can I use canned apple pie filling?

Sure!! To save time you can definitely use store-bought apple pie filling. Just grab a can of apple pie filling.  I would just cut up the apples into a smaller size.

Can I just use whipped topping or whipped cream?

Of course!  You can skip the cream cheese topping and just use a whipped cream like in a can, whipped topping like cool-whip or even a bit of homemade whipped cream using heavy cream.  These would also be delicious with some vanilla ice cream. 

Gather your ingredients.

Add the apples, butter, cinnamon, caramel and brown sugar to a pot.

Cook until the apples are soft and the sauce is thickened.

Whip together your cream cheese mixture.

Fry your tortillas into a taco shell shape and add to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Set the tortilla shell aside to cool.

Fill these dessert tacos with the homemade apple pie filling and serve!

Ingredients used

• Small flour tortillas-  I like to the use the street taco size tortillas.  The street taco flour tortillas are my go to.  Any small tortilla should work and you can use a round cookie cutter to cut circles out of larger tortillas if you like.
• Oil for frying- Any neutral oil will work here, I like to use canola oil or vegetable oil.
• Cinnamon sugar-  You can buy cinnamon sugar or mix up your own.
• Apples- Any apple variety you like will work in this recipe. Use your favorite apples.
• Ground cinnamon–  You need a little cinnamon for the apple pie filling.
• Vanilla extract-  You could also use vanilla bean paste if you prefer.
• Brown sugar- This sweetens the apple filling.
• Caramel sauce- I find this with the ice cream toppings.
• Butter-  You just need a little for the apple pie filling.  You can use salted butter or unsalted butter.
• Cream cheese-  You want to make sure your cream cheese is softened.
• Powdered sugar-  This helps make the base for the cream topping.
