Ingredients

• 3 1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 Tablespoon cold water
• 1/2 cup butter
• 4 cups peeled and chopped apples, chopped into bite-size bites (I use a combination of granny smith and gala)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves
• 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 Tablespoons orange juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 3/4 cups sugar
• 12 (9-inch) tortillas
• Taquito coating
• 1/3 cup melted butter, to brush tortillas with
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• Toppings
• Vanilla ice cream to serve with
• Caramel ice cream topping to drizzle over the top

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt butter and add apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, lemon juice, orange juice, salt and sugar. Mix well and cook for about 5 minutes until apples begin to become tender. Add the cornstarch mixture to the apples and cook until thickened about 3 minutes.

To assemble

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix 1 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small mixing bowl. Have melted butter ready for the assembly.
Soften tortillas if needed in microwave for about 35 seconds.
With a pastry brush, brush one side of the tortilla with the melted butter. Sprinkle sugar mixture over the top. Flip the tortilla over and place ⅓ cup apple mixture length-wise down the tortilla toward the right hand side. As tightly as possible roll the tortilla up and place onto cookie sheet. I could only fit about 7 at a time on my cookie sheet.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 10 to 13 minutes or until tortillas begin to brown and crisp up.
Place one on a plate and top with ice cream and serve with a caramel drizzle over the ice cream.
