  2. Fill: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling into the center of each tortilla, leaving space at the edges.
  3. Roll: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other. Place seam side down.
  4. Butter: Brush the outer surface of each taquito with melted butter using a pastry brush.
  5. Coat: Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon powder, then roll each butter-brushed taquito in the mixture.
  6. Arrange: Place coated taquitos in the air fryer basket seam side down, ensuring they are not touching.
  7. Air Fry: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 9-11 minutes, flipping halfway for even browning.
  8. Serve: Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with vanilla ice cream or caramel drizzle.
