Apple Pie Taco Boats
Can you guys believe that it’s actually time for Fall baking??! It seems like just yesterday I was still working full time and dreaming about the day I could blog every day from 8-5 (instead of 6-midnight!). The past 6 months has flown by in the blink of an eye. All of a sudden Summer is nearly (if not) over and its time for everything pumpkin, changing leaves, and APPLES!! Apples and cinnamon…Autumn’s calling card. My favorite season!
If you guys are getting my emails, you know a couple months ago I started working with Old El Paso. This girl LOVES Mexican food, and I’m so honored to be one of their Freshest Bloggers this year! I’ve had so much fun finding new ways to use their amazing products; from Mexican Lasagna to Taco Stuffed French Bread. Today I decided to use their new Mini Taco Boats (OBSESSED!) for a dessert instead! Mini Apple Pie Taco Boats! SO easy, delicious, and fun. Everything I love about Old El Paso.
These Mini Apple Pie Taco Boats are made in less than 30 minutes…cool, right?
The Mini Taco Boats are the perfect size…about two bites. Feed me!!

- 8 Old El Paso Mini Taco Boats
