Using a 3.5-inch circle cutter, cut out circles from your tortillas. You should get about 5 from each tortilla.

Combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside. Heat about 1 ½-inch of oil in a pan on the stove over medium heat. Use a little scrap of tortilla to put in the oil and make sure it’s good & bubbly.
-
Using tongs, place one circle in the oil for about 5 seconds. Flip it over and fold it in half holding it folded for about 5 seconds or until browned.
-
Flip over and fry the other side until crispy. Immediately remove from the oil giving it a little shake and place into the cinnamon sugar.
-
Set on a pan to cool.
-
To create the filling, start by peeling and dicing apples. Toss with lemon juice.
-
Over medium heat stir together butter, chopped apples, cinnamon and brown sugar.
-
Add about ¼ cup of water and let cook on medium heat for about 4 minutes. Stir 1 teaspoon cornstarch into remaining water and add to pan.
-
Continue cooking until most of the liquid is gone and apples are soft.
-
Fill each taco shell with about 2 tablespoons of pie filling and top with frozen whipped topping and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
