These Apple Pie Tacos combine two of America’s favorites in one deliciously sweet dessert! Gluten-free cinnamon sugar coated corn tortilla shells baked to crispy perfection and then filled with a perfectly spiced vegan apple pie filling topped with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream for apple dessert perfection!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Stemilt World Famous Fruit. The opinions and text are all mine. The apples used in this recipe were sent to me as a gift, thank you so much!
Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love 1. apple pie and 2. tacos… Well today, we’re combining the two for one easy, fantastic dessert recipe. So, now that I have your attention, let’s taco more about how easily these Apple Pie Tacos come together and how unbelievably easy they are to scarf down!
With Mother’s Day right around the corner, I wanted to create a recipe that not only I would enjoy myself in celebration of being a mom, but that is also easy enough for the hubby and kids to make all on their own to pamper me on my day “off” 😉
The steps are simple. First, you’ll need to purchase corn tortillas, I used street taco corn tortillas because they are smaller. Next, pick up your favorite apples from Stemilt (I used Fuji apples in this recipe), coconut sugar, your favorite gluten-free granola, cinnamon, allspice, vegan butter or coconut oil, tapioca/arrowroot flour, maple syrup, and lemon juice. When you are ready to make these Apple Pie Tacos, you’ll start by making the apple pie filling first.
I did want to take a second to chat about Stemilt, family owned and operated growers in Wenatchee, WA since 1964. Stemilt grows, packs, and markets World Famous apples, pears, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, and organic fruits. They are “centered around cultivating people and growing fruit that delights consumers through excellence” and it sure does show in the quality of their fruits! I mean, when I received a box of their pink lady and fuji apples I was wowed at just how gorgeous and lush they are! Be sure to keep an eye out for their fruits on your next shopping trip!
Anywho, you’ll want to peel and dice the Stemilt apples into small pieces and sauté them with cinnamon, allspice, coconut sugar, lemon juice, and tapioca/arrowroot flour (used as a thickener), and a little bit of water until they are soft and the juices release creating that juicy apple pie filling- about 15 minutes. Next, in a food processor/blender combine the granola, coconut sugar, and cinnamon and process until you achieve a finely ground texture. Dip each corn tortilla in melted butter then coat them in the cinnamon sugar granola mixture. To make them into crispy shells, place them into the underside of a cupcake pan, this helps them to hold their shape until crispy, and then bake them for 12 minutes.
I think you know what to do next, but you fill each taco shell with the apple pie filling and then dollop a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream on top… Voila! Apple Pie Tacos anyone can make (and devour) 🙂 Note: to reheat leftover tacos, broil them in the oven for about 5 minutes keeping a close eye on them.

I experimented with two shells, Guerrero Zero net carbs street taco shells. Sprayed with Pam coconut oil cooking spray and pressed in finely ground Ketola Crunch granola. I discovered I have a bread loaf pan, with three slots, which I inverted and laid the shells on. They came out nicely crisped and taco shaped. For the filling I mixed Two Good peach yogurt with blueberries. It was a delicious breakfast! It was a bit messy, because the crispy shell broke, but manageable and delicious. I can’t wait to try with the apple filling. Thank you!
Sounds like you had a great breakfast! I’m
Glad it worked out and you enjoyed them, I’ll have to give the peach yogurt and blueberries a try! 😋
The recipe sounds wonderful! I’m wondering if you coat both sides of the shell with nuts, after dipping in the butter? I’m concerned the nuts won’t adhere to the shell. Thank you!
Hi Karen! Yes, I coated both sides but you can feel free to only coat one side. Also instead of butter you could use spray coconut oil- spray the tortilla one side at a time and then press into the ground granola mixture (or you can use nuts if you prefer but I haven’t tried that). Hope this helps, and you enjoy them!
