Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 small flour tortillas
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Peel, core, and dice your apples into small cubes.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well.
- Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and fragrant.
- Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon until evenly combined.
- Heat vegetable oil in a small pot over medium heat.
- Using tongs, carefully fold each tortilla into a taco shape and fry until golden brown and crispy (about 30 seconds per side).
- Place the fried tortillas on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, coat each tortilla in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Fill each taco shell with the apple filling.
- Optional: Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas. You can bake the tortillas instead of frying for a lower-fat version. Adjust the sugar in the filling depending on your apple variety.
