- Make apple filling: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
- Prepare taco shells: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush tortillas with melted butter. Mix sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over tortillas.
- Shape shells: Fold tortillas over the bars of an inverted muffin tin or over two oven-safe rods to create a taco shape. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until crispy and golden.
- Assemble tacos: Fill each taco shell with warm apple filling. Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.
- Serve immediately for a warm and delicious dessert.
