Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pour the apple pie filling into a bowl and chop up the apple slices into bite-sized pieces. Take a small oven-safe bowl and press a tortilla inside it, shaping it into a little cup. Brush the inside of the tortilla with melted butter and sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar. Pop it in the oven and bake until the tortilla is nice and crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes. Once it’s done, carefully take the tortilla cup out of the bowl and let it cool on a wire rack. When you’re ready to serve, fill the crispy tortilla cup with a scoop of ice cream, spoon on the apple pie filling, and finish it off with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
These sweet treats combine the warm, spiced flavors of apple pie with the cool creaminess of ice cream. They are easy to make and fun to serve at parties or family gatherings. Each bite offers a perfect balance of crunchy, soft, and cold textures.
How to serve
Serve these cups immediately after assembling, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. They also pair well with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
Storage & leftovers
Keep any leftover apple filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Store taco cups separately in a cool, dry place to maintain their crunch. Assemble just before serving to prevent sogginess.
