Recipe Title: Apple Pie Tacos
Ingredients:
- 4 apples, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup water
- 6-inch flour tortillas
- Oil (for frying tortillas)
- 1/2 cup sugar-cinnamon mixture (for dusting)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
Directions:
- Cook the Apples: In a medium saucepan, combine the peeled and sliced apples, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, nutmeg, and water. Stir the mixture until well blended, then cover and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes or until the apples are semi-soft.
- Optional: If the sauce is too thin, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 3-4 tablespoons of water and stir into the apple mixture to thicken the sauce.
- Fry the Tortillas: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. While holding each tortilla folded in half, fry the bottom of the tortilla in the oil for a few seconds. Then lay the tortilla on one side until browned, followed by the other side. This will create a taco shell shape. Once browned and crispy, remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While the tortillas are still warm, sprinkle them with the sugar-cinnamon mixture to coat the outside.
- Assemble the Tacos: Fill each crispy tortilla shell with the warm apple pie filling. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream, and sprinkle a little more of the sugar-cinnamon mixture over the whipped cream.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Apple Pie Tacos warm for the best flavor and texture.
