Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brush both sides of each flour tortilla generously with melted salted butter.

  4. Allow the coated tortillas to rest on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.
  5. Drape the coated tortillas over the bars of your oven rack or place them in a taco mold. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Let the taco shells cool for about 5 minutes.
  7. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the canned apple pie filling with heavy cream and heat until bubbling, about 5 minutes.

Notes

Allow the filling to cool slightly before scooping it into the taco shells to avoid sogginess. Store any baked shells in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
