I love taquitos, and the obsession with rolled tacos was passed down to my kids. I blame my dad, who makes traditional taquitos every Christmas Eve. My whole family looks forward to this day because we only have them once a year. It is such a treat to look forward to.

Taquitos are excellent finger food, pretty easy to prepare, and delicious.

I saw an idea for Apple Pie Tacos from A Cooking Panda. My daughter Jersey saw it and was like ooh, I want those. It looked messy, so how could I prevent a massive deconstructed taco mess? That is when I came up with the idea for this recipe.

Otherwise, grab a bowl of whipped cream and dip it in with these caramel apple pie taquitos.
