Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and chopped
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
6 (8 inch) flour tortillas
canola oil for frying
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon milk, or more as needed
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Stir apples, sugar, and cinnamon together in a small saucepan over medium heat until apples are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Spoon 2 or 3 heaping tablespoons of mixture into each tortilla; roll tortillas into cylinders that are 1 inch in diameter.
  • Warm 1/2 inch of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place 2 flautas carefully into the hot oil with metal tongs and fry until light golden brown on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining flautas.
  • Mix confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl until smooth and consistency is slightly thick, but pourable. Drizzle over flautas.
