Ingredients
  

2 large flour tortillas

1 large apple (choose your favorite variety), peeled and diced

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened at room temperature

2 tablespoons honey

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional for added texture)

Cooking spray or melted butter for brushing

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apple, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss the mixture until the apple pieces are thoroughly coated with the sugar and spices. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors develop and the apples release some of their juices.

    Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, use a whisk or spatula to blend the softened cream cheese and honey together until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps. Set this mixture aside for assembly.

      Assemble the Roll-Ups: Place one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, evenly spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the tortilla, ensuring to leave a small border around the edges for easier rolling.

        Add the Apple Filling: Spoon half of the prepared apple mixture over the cream cheese layer, distributing it evenly. If you like, sprinkle half of the chopped nuts over the apples for an extra crunchy texture.

          Roll It Up: Start at one edge of the tortilla and carefully roll it up tightly towards the opposite end, making sure to tuck in the filling as you go to prevent it from spilling out. Once fully rolled, press gently to seal the edges. Repeat this process with the second tortilla and the remaining filling ingredients.

            Cook the Roll-Ups: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted butter. Arrange the roll-ups seam side down in the skillet. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!

              Slice and Serve: Once cooked, remove the roll-ups from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Use a sharp knife to slice them into bite-sized pieces. These sweet treats make for a perfect snack that can be served immediately or packed into snack containers for later enjoyment.

                Optional Dipping Sauce: For an indulgent touch, serve the roll-ups with a small cup of caramel sauce or yogurt for dipping!
