• 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
• 1 tsp lemon zest.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract.

FOR THE HOMEMADE APPLE FILLING:

• 4 medium apples diced to small cubes. (peeled and cored of course)
• 1/3 cup of brown sugar.
• 2 tbsp of softened butter.
• 3 tbsp of water.
• 2 tbsp of cornstarch.
• 2 tbsp of water.
• 1 tsp of ground cinnamon.
• A little pinch of nutmeg.

P.S: If you don’t have time to prepare the filling you can just use one can of apple pie filling.

DIRECTIONS:

STEP 1:

I preheated the oven to 400 degrees F.

STEP 2:

I combined and set aside graham cracker crumbs and cinnamon in a medium bowl.

STEP 3:

To get around 24-30 shells, I cut 4 rounds out of each tortilla shell with a cookie cutter. Then I dip each one into molten butter, then covered with graham mixture.

STEP 4:

I flip the upside-down muffin tin and set the strips of tortilla between the muffin cups.

STEP 5:

I baked for 10 minutes until the brown is just perfect.

I let the pan cool.

STEP 6:

I melt the butter in a medium-sized pan and add the apples, brown sugar, spices, and 3 tablespoons of warm water.

STEP 7:

I cook over medium-high heat, for around 5 to 6 minutes or until the mixture is very soft and tender.

STEP 8:

I mix well the cornstarch and 2 teaspoons of water into a small dish. Then I add it to the pan and continue cooking until the apples are moist, and the filling thickens for around 5 more minutes.

STEP 9:

Using medium speed to beat cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla for 2 minutes until it thickens. I put it for thirty min in the freezer, and I move to a bag for piping.

STEP 10:

I pipe the cream cheese filling into the taco shells and finish with a half teaspoon of apple pie filling.

STEP 11:

For the topping, I sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs! AND THE TACOS ARE DONE!

ENJOY!
