Why This Recipe Stands Out
These little treats combine the warm, comforting flavors of apple pie with a fun, handheld twist. The crispy taco cups add a delightful crunch, while the scoop of ice cream melts perfectly on top, creating a delicious contrast of hot and cold. They’re easy to make and perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Smart Cooking Tips
- Use fresh, crisp apples to get the best texture and flavor.
- Brush the taco cups with a little melted butter before baking to help them crisp up nicely.

Directions
Gently heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pour the apple pie filling into a bowl and give the apple slices a quick dice. Next, take a small oven-safe bowl and press a tortilla into it, shaping it into a little cup. Brush the inside of the tortilla with melted butter, then sprinkle a good amount of cinnamon sugar all over it. Pop the tortilla cups into the oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, until they’re nice and crispy. When they’re done, carefully lift them out of the bowls and let them cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, fill each taco cup with a scoop of ice cream and spoon the apple pie filling on top. Finish things off with a dollop of whipped cream and a light sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor. Enjoy!
Serving Ideas
Serve these warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or your favorite flavor. You can also drizzle caramel sauce or sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top for an extra touch. They work great as a fun dessert at parties or cozy family gatherings.
Storage Suggestions
Store any leftover taco cups separately from the ice cream to keep them crispy. Keep the apple filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat the cups briefly in the oven before serving again.
