Ingredients
  

2 large flour tortillas

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

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for additional sweetness)

1/4 cup granola (optional, for added crunch)

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

Instructions
 

Prep the Apples: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced apples with the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and fresh lemon juice. Toss well until the apple slices are thoroughly coated with the mixture. Let the apples sit for about 5 minutes; this will allow the flavors to meld and the sugars to draw out some moisture.

    Spread the Cream Cheese: While the apple mixture is resting, take each flour tortilla and evenly spread a tablespoon of softened cream cheese across the entire surface. If you desire a sweeter profile, drizzle a bit of honey on top of the cream cheese layer, spreading it gently to combine.

      Layer the Apples: Evenly distribute the marinated apple mixture onto each tortilla, ensuring that you leave about a 1-inch border around the edges to prevent spillage. If you’re using granola and chopped nuts, sprinkle them over the apples for added crunch and taste.

        Roll It Up: Starting from one end of the tortilla, carefully roll it up tightly over the filling, tucking in the edges as you go to secure the contents inside. This helps to keep the delicious filling intact.

          Slice and Serve: After rolling, use a sharp knife to slice each roll-up into 1-inch pieces. This makes for easy handling and creates bite-sized portions that are perfect for little hands or as a snack.

            Pack for School: To prepare for a lunch or snack, place the Sweet Apple Roll-Ups in a lunch container or snack pack. They are delightful when enjoyed cold or at room temperature, making them an excellent choice for school lunches!
