As American as apple pie…? I don’t know about you, but it’s been a good long while since I had an apple pie. Much less made one. And being as I’m Texas girl? I’ll stick with these Baked Caramel Apple Pie Taquitos!

Homemade apple pie filling is rolled up together with a creamy caramel filling and then dusted with cinnamon sugar for a perfectly simple take on apple pie, Tex-Mex style! These apple pie bites of goodness would be great as a part of breakfast (or brunch), or as dessert.

I lightened these up by subbing in natural sweeteners for most of the sugar. I also used a reduced fat cream cheese for part of the filling, but other than that, these taquitos pretty much stand on their own as they are.

Fresh apple slices and some more caramel on the side for dipping and dunking is a great idea too! I had thought about drizzling the caramel over the top but that would lead to some fairly sticky fingers in the process.
