Ingredients
  

2 large flour tortillas

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

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon honey (optional)

1/4 cup granola (for crunch, optional)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Apples: In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Let sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Spread Cream Cheese: While the apples are marinating, take each flour tortilla and spread a tablespoon of softened cream cheese evenly across the surface. If you want added sweetness, drizzle a little honey on top of the cream cheese.

      Layer the Apples: Distribute the apple mixture evenly onto each tortilla, ensuring to keep the filling within a 1-inch border around the edges. If using, sprinkle granola and nuts on top of the apples for added texture.

        Roll It Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll up the tortilla tightly over the filling. Make sure to tuck in the edges as you go to prevent the filling from spilling out.

          Slice and Serve: Once rolled, slice each roll-up into 1-inch pieces. This makes it easy for little hands to grab and enjoy!

            Pack for School: Place the Sweet Apple Roll-Ups in a lunch container or snack pack. They can be served cold or at room temperature, making them perfect for school lunches!
