Apple Cheesecake Tacos

Apple Cheesecake Tacos are eaten in a couple of bites and they look so fancy. This recipe is perfect for apple season, but you can prepare it anytime you wish a good apple treat or to smell apples and cinnamon.

Instead of homemade apple filling, ready – made apple pie filling can be used. However, I recommend homemade apple sauce.

Apple Cheesecake Tacos

Shells are made from tortillas, they´re fried in deep oil and coated in the mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon.

Cheesecake filling is made of cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla and powdered sugar.

Homemade apple sauce is so aromatic, since it´s made of apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, corn starch, water and vanilla.

It´s a perfect combination, crunchy tortilla shells, creamy cheesecake filling and aromatic homemade apple sauce – three different tastes combined in a perfect dessert.

How to prepare Apple Cheesecake Tacos?

Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside. Using 3.5 – 4 inch circle cutter, cut circles from tortillas. Heat 1 inch oil in a pan, the temperature should be medium. Put tortilla circles, using tongs, in the oil and fry for about 10-15 seconds, then turn the circles on the other side, fold them in half and fry until they become golden brown.

Take them out of the pan and wait for a couple of seconds for the extra oil to drain, then immediately put in the bowl with sugar and cinnamon.  Cover the shells completely with this mixture. Put some of the mixture inside of the shell, as well.

Finally, place them on the upside down muffin tin. Repeat the same procedure with the rest of the circles. In a medium size dish, pour water, add cornstarch, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cook for about 2-3 minutes, at medium heat, until it thickens, stirring from time to time.  Add apples and vanila extra T and cook for 10 minutes, or until the apples soften.

Remove from heat and let cool at a room temperature. Beat cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract for 2 minutes, using medium speed, until it thickens. Put the mixture into a piping bag and cut off the peak. Fill the shells with cream cheese filling and put apple pie filling on top of it.

NOTES:

Keep refrigerated up to 3 days. It could be made the day before and kept in the fridge.

I would recommend you Vegetable Oil.

The day after the shells could become more soft.

The form of tacos you get by folding tortilla circle while frying in deep oil. Use tongs to do that. Folded tortillas should be put in an upside down muffin tin, so that filling of tortilla shells is easier.

WELL, THIS WAS JUST A SHORT VERSION OF THE RECIPE THAT YOU CAN FIND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST, ALONG WITH THE QUANTITIES OF THE NECESSARY INGREDIENTS.

    We made something similar recently but with strawberry sauce. You don’t need to fry the tortillas. It’s easier (and I’d guess healthier) to cut out the tortillas, put a little butter on them, coat in the sugar/cinnamon mix, and then fold them gently between the cups on an upside-down muffin pan. Bake at 350 for 10 min. They are MUCH easier to control than frying in a skillet and you can get more done at once.
