Recreate the crispy, sweet magic of Taco Bell's beloved Crispitos with this easy copycat recipe! These golden-brown dessert delights feature soft flour tortillas stuffed with luscious apple pie filling, rolled into burrito-like shapes, and fried to perfection. Brushed with melted butter and dusted in a cinnamon-sugar coating, each bite delivers a warm, spiced sweetness thatβs irresistibly comforting. Ready in just 25 minutes, these Crispitos are perfect for satisfying dessert cravings or impressing guests at your next gathering. Serve them fresh with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside.
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling in the center of each tortilla. Spread it into a thin line, leaving room on the edges to fold the tortilla.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other to form small burrito-like shapes. Secure the ends with a toothpick to prevent unrolling while frying.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat to about 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Carefully place the rolled tortillas seam-side down into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove Crispitos from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
While the Crispitos are still warm, brush them with melted butter and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them on their own or with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
