Ingredients
  

2 large apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and thinly sliced

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work well)

1 tablespoon melted butter

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

Extra cinnamon for sprinkling

Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing

Instructions
 

Prep the Apples: In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced apples, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Toss well and let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the apples to soften slightly.

    Prepare the Nut Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the chopped nuts with melted butter until well-coated. Set aside.

      Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

        Assemble the Roll Ups:

          - Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese filling over the entire tortilla.

            - Evenly distribute a portion of the apple mixture over the cream cheese layer, followed by a sprinkle of the nut mixture.

              - Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly to form a log. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.

                Cook the Roll Ups: Preheat your air fryer or oven to 375°F (190°C). If using an oven, grease a baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

                  - Place the roll ups seam-side down in the air fryer basket or in the prepared baking dish.

                    - Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or brush with melted butter, then sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top.

                      - Air fry for about 8-10 minutes or bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy.

                        Serve: Allow the roll ups to cool slightly before slicing them into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with extra cream cheese or caramel sauce for added indulgence. Enjoy your delightful Cinnamon Apple Roll Ups with Nuts!
