How to Make Air Fryer Apple Pie Roll-Ups
Please refer to the ingredient list in the printable recipe card below.
Making apple pie roll-ups is a fun and easy way to enjoy the classic flavor of apple pie without all the hassle of making a traditional pie.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C)
- While it’s preheating, mix softened cream cheese with a tablespoon of sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. You can add sugar if you like. I felt that cream cheese pairs wonderfully with apple pie filling and breaks the sweetness of apple pie topping.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the tortilla. (Picture 1).
- Then add a thin layer (about 2 tablespoons) of apple pie filling onto a tortilla. (Picture 2).
- Roll it up: Roll the tortilla with the apple pie tightly, but gently; ensuring that the filling is not falling out of the sides. Secure the tortilla roll with toothpicks, if needed. (Picture 3).
- Spritz the oil spray onto the tortilla rolls.
- Air fry for 6 minutes flipping halfway until the tortilla roll is golden and crispy. (Picture 4)
- Carefully cut into halves or quarters, if desired
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar (or Cinnamon sugar), if desired
What Kind of Apple Pie Filling Should I use for Tortilla Roll-ups?
While there are many delicious fillings that can be used for tortilla roll-ups, apple pie filling is a particularly good choice. The sweetness of the apples complements the savory flavors of the tortillas and cream cheese, and the filling helps to keep the roll-ups moist and flavorful.
When selecting an apple pie filling, be sure to choose one that is made with fresh apples. These will have a more pronounced flavor than those made with canned apples, and they will also be less likely to turn mushy when cooked.
For a truly special treat, try using a homemade apple pie filling. This will add an extra level of flavor and texture to your tortilla roll-ups. Homemade Apple Pie filling recipe.
What Can I use Besides Tortillas?
Phyllo dough or wonton wrappers (egg roll wrappers) can both be used in place of tortillas.
If you want a gluten-free option, you can use rice paper or cabbage leaves.
Whatever type of wrap you choose, be sure to brush it with butter or oil to help prevent it from drying out during baking.
Sandwich bread - use a rolling pin to flatten the bread
Another variation is to stuff the pie filling into a pastry shell. This can be done with either a pre-made crust or one that is made from scratch. Once the filling is in the shell, it can be topped with a crumble topping or simply baked until golden brown.
The important thing is to choose a dough that is pliable enough to roll up, but also sturdy enough to hold the filling.
How to Store Leftovers
Store the apple pie roll-ups in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2 minutes, flipping halfway to bring back their outer crisp and inner warmth.
Should I use Parchment Paper for this Recipe?
Parchment paper will prevent sticking and makes cleanup much easier. I suggest using Air fryer perforated parchment paper.
However, if you do not have any parchment paper on hand, you can still cook this delicious treat by lightly spraying the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
