Ingredients
  

For the tortillas
  • 6 small small flour tortillas (4.5-inch street taco size)
  • ⅓ cup salted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup finely crushed vanilla wafer crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (or apple pie spice)
For the filling
  • 20 oz canned apple pie filling (or fresh sautéed apples)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free)
For serving
  • Whipped cream and caramel sauce (optional, for topping) Optional toppings

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brush both sides of your tortillas with melted butter.
  3. Combine crushed vanilla wafers and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
  4. Press your buttered tortillas into the crumb mixture, coating both sides evenly.
  5. Let the coated tortillas hang out on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.
  6. Drape the tortillas over the bars of your oven rack or use a taco mold.
Baking
  1. Bake for 8-10 minutes until they are golden and crispy.
  2. Remove and let cool for about 5 minutes.
Filling
  1. In a saucepan, warm up your apple pie filling with heavy cream until bubbly and aromatic (about 5 minutes).
  2. Spoon the warm apple filling into your crispy shells, letting some overflow.
  3. Top with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Notes

Store components separately if you have leftovers. Crispy taco shells can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container, and leftover apple filling can be kept in the fridge.
