Preparation

  2. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the apple mixture into the lower third of each tortilla. Roll each tightly around the filling so the seam is on the bottom.
  4. Lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray and arrange them seam-side down in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cooking
  1. Air fry at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  2. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Store leftover taquitos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispness.
