    • 1 can apple slices, chopped
    • 1-2 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1-2 tsp lemon juice
    • 2 tbsp brown sugar
    • 1 tbsp flour

    2

    COMBINE flour and water together in a bowl and mix well to form a paste. This will be your “glue”

    PREHEAT your airfryer at 200ºC.

    CUT a tortilla wrap in half and fold in the shape of a cone. Once confident add your paste to the edges, fold and press to stick together to make a cone. Repeat the process until you have used all of the tortillas.
