Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Take the apple pie filling and dump it into a bowl, then chop up the apple slices into small pieces.

Step 2

Next, press a tortilla into a small oven-safe bowl to shape it like a cup. Brush the inside with melted butter and sprinkle a good amount of cinnamon sugar all over. Pop the tortilla cups into the oven and bake them for about 10 to 12 minutes, until they’re nice and crispy.

Step 3

When they’re done, carefully lift the tortilla cups out of the bowls and let them cool on a wire rack. Once they’ve cooled a bit, fill each cup with a scoop of ice cream, spoon on the apple pie filling, and finish with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Serving Suggestions

Serve these warm cups right after baking with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra flavor. They also pair well with a cup of hot coffee or tea.

Storage Tips

Store any leftover pie cups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Reheat them gently in the oven before serving to maintain crispness. Keep ice cream separate until ready to serve.
