Description
Discover this tasty twist on traditional apple pie with these delicious apple pie cheesecake tacos.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
- Caramel sauce (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples with lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the apple mixture. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- In another bowl, whip the softened cream cheese with confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
- Carefully fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is well blended.
- In a small dish, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they become soft and flexible.
- To create the tacos, spread a generous layer of the cheesecake filling onto each tortilla, followed by a spoonful of the sautéed apple mixture.
- Fold the tortillas in half to form a taco shape.
- Coat each taco in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered.
- Serve immediately, with a drizzle of caramel sauce on top if desired.
Notes
- For added crunch, consider mixing in some chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts into the apple filling.
- For a gluten-free alternative, swap the flour tortillas for corn tortillas coated in cinnamon sugar.
