  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F.
  • Whisk together water and cornstarch in a small pan until no lumps remain. Over medium heat add 3/4 cups granulated sugar, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg vanilla, lemon juice and salt to the cornstarch mixture.

  • Place one tablespoon of caramel sauce on each warm tortilla and top with 1/2 cup of the apple mixture.
