Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 2 cups diced apples
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup homemade vegan caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the apple filling by combining diced apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly to coat apples evenly.
- Create the crumble topping by mixing rolled oats, remaining brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and coconut oil in a separate bowl. Use your fingers to combine until the mixture becomes crumbly and slightly clumped.
- Shape the tortillas into taco shells by draping each tortilla over two parallel oven rack bars, creating a curved taco shape. Bake for 5-7 minutes until crisp and golden.
- Remove tortilla shells and let cool for 2-3 minutes to maintain their shape.
- Fill each tortilla shell with the prepared apple mixture, then sprinkle the crumble topping generously over the apples.
- Return filled taco shells to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until the crumble is golden and apples are tender.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle homemade vegan caramel sauce over each apple crumble taco just before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Tips
- Tortilla Technique: When shaping your taco shells, use oven rack bars for the perfect curve. This ensures a uniform shape and crisp texture.
- Apple Selection: Choose firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture in your filling.
- Crumble Consistency: Use cold coconut oil and mix the crumble with your fingers to create those delightful, slightly clumped texture clusters.
- Caramel Drizzle Perfection: Warm your caramel sauce slightly before drizzling to achieve that beautiful, smooth flow over your tacos.
- Serve Immediately: These tacos are best enjoyed warm, so time your baking to serve right after they come out of the oven for maximum deliciousness.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the apple filling and crumble topping in advance to speed up the assembly process.
