These flaky little bite-sized apple pies are delicious and perfect for sharing!  I made them this year for the superbowl and they were a hit!  They can get a little messy, but what’s a good dessert without some mess??  Especially when it comes in apple pie form.  I’m actually not always a huge fan of “warm mushy fruit” as I like to call it, but I love the lemon in this and it really brightens the whole thing with the excess sugar and sweetness!

When making the taco shells if you’re feeling lazy, you can leave off the cinnamon sugar on the insides.  I did that originally, but after they came out of the oven decided I wanted the sugar on the outside so it’s the first thing that hits your tongue.  It worked out better that way anyway because if the sugar was on the outside, it’d make the bottom of the muffin pan sticky and hard to clean.

One of the benefits of this dish is that you can prepare both the shells and the filling and then pop the filling back in the oven for 30 minutes before serving!  Added bonus…if you don’t feel like tacos, just make the filling and eat it!  It’s even healthy, just apples, cinnamon, and only 1 Tbsp. of butter.  Just top with ice cream and ignore what I just said about being healthy and dig in!

While these look extra delicious with the caramel topping I bought from the store, I actually like them more plain.  There’s plenty of sweet sugar on the tacos and I like the bright bite of lemony apples.  You can also cut shells out of regular tortillas if you prefer, but I liked the lightness of the shell, and I prefer it to wasting the bits of a large tortilla between the smaller cutouts.  But I do wonder if it might give a little more heft to these.

I opted to leave off the ice cream for the party since I didn’t want it to melt and make the tacos limp as people grabbed them in between plays.  I figured caramel was much more manageable for a crowd.  But these would be so cute with a dollop of whipped cream, or ice cream, or honestly, just make it a dessert taco bar!  I think that’d be amazing for kids.  Try these out and let me know in the comments below what you think!
