Churro apple pie tacos always take me right back to my mom’s kitchen, where cinnamon and sugar meant something warm and comforting was on the way. When I was growing up, my mom would cook apples down on the stovetop until they turned soft and sweet, and I’d stand there waiting to sneak a bite. The smell of cinnamon filled the whole kitchen, and everything felt cozy. Back in our kitchen, it didn’t take much, just a pan, a spoon, and a little patience while everything came together.
