How to Make Apple Cheesecake Tacos
Step 1: Prepare the Taco Shells

2️⃣ In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
3️⃣ Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture.
4️⃣ Transfer to a piping bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 3: Prepare the Apples

2️⃣ Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
Step 4: Assemble the Tacos

Pro Tips for the Best Apple Cheesecake Tacos
✔️ Use Granny Smith or Honeycrisp Apples – For the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.
✔️ Don’t Overfill the Tacos – A little cheesecake filling goes a long way!
✔️ Make Ahead – Prepare the components separately and assemble when ready to serve.
✔️ Baked Version – Instead of frying, brush tortillas with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and bake at 375°F for 10 minutes until crispy.
