Servings: persons

6 (6-in.) flour tortillas
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 lb. Braeburn apples, peeled and cut into 1/2-in. wedges
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons salted butter
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons jarred caramel topping
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons jarred caramel topping

1
Prepare the Taco Shells: Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Roll sheets of aluminum foil into 3 loose rolls, each measuring approximately 17 inches long, 1 1/2 inches wide, and 4 inches tall. Place rolls parallel on a rimmed baking sheet.
2
Stir together sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush melted butter evenly on both sides of tortillas, and sprinkle both sides evenly with sugar mixture. Drape 2 tortillas over each foil roll, so that they form a taco shell shape.
3
Bake tortillas in preheated oven until tortillas hold their shape and are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer shells to a wire rack, and cool completely.
4
Prepare the Caramel-Apple Filling: Toss together apples, brown sugar, and flour in a large bowl. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add apple mixture, and cook, stirring often, until apples are tender and sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with salt and cinnamon; stir to combine.
5
Prepare the Caramel Whipped Cream: Combine cream and caramel topping in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Add cinnamon; increase speed to medium-high, and beat until stiff peaks foam, about 3 minutes.
6
Assemble the Tacos: Divide Caramel-Apple Filling evenly among the Taco Shells. Top evenly with Caramel Whipped Cream, and drizzle each taco with about 1/2 tablespoon caramel topping.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
