Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup cold water

2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and thinly sliced

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon lemon juice

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

Caramel sauce for drizzling

Chopped nuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Make the Taco Shells:

    - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.

      - Add the melted butter and cold water to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

        - Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 2 minutes, then cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.

          Roll and Cook the Shells:

            - Preheat a skillet over medium heat.

              - Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).

                - Roll each ball into thin circles (about 6 inches in diameter).

                  - Cook each tortilla in the preheated skillet for about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly puffed. Set aside to cool.

                    Prepare the Apple Filling:

                      - In a medium bowl, combine the sliced apples with the cinnamon and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat and set aside.

                        Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

                          - In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

                            - Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well until creamy and lump-free.

                              - Fold in the whipped cream gently until combined for a light and fluffy texture.

                                Assemble the Tacos:

                                  - Take one taco shell and fill it with a generous spoonful of the cheesecake filling.

                                    - Top with a portion of the cinnamon-infused apple slices.

                                      Finish and Serve:

                                        - Drizzle caramel sauce over the filled tacos for a decadent touch.

                                          - Garnish with chopped nuts if desired for added crunch.

                                            Prep Time: 30 minutes | Total Time: 1 hour | Servings: 4 tacos (2 per person)

                                              - Presentation Tips: Serve on a colorful plate, stacking the tacos slightly and sprinkling some leftover chopped nuts around the base for a decorative touch. Add a dollop of whipped cream on the side for extra indulgence. Enjoy your unique dessert!
