How To Make Dessert Tacos
Just like art class, paint your chocolate over the inside and outside of your shells. The chocolate hardens pretty quick. Let them sit while you prepare the apple filling.
Homemade Whipped Cream
Be sure to get your whipped cream whipped so it’s ready to go 🙂
How To Make Apple Pie Filling
Peel and chop 4 large apples. I used Gala, but just about any variety will work great. Pour your apple chunks into a hot skillet with melted butter.
Add some brown sugar.
Apple Pie Filling Recipe
Add ground cinnamon and stir to combine. Let cook for about 5 minutes.
Spoon that gorgeous apple filling into your chocolate tacos.
Top each taco with a nice dollop of whipped cream and some chocolate shavings. Enjoy!
