Ingredients
4 small flour tortillas
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp cinnamon sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened

6. Add optional toppings like caramel drizzle, whipped cream, or chopped nuts.
7. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can make mini versions using smaller tortillas for bite-sized desserts.
For a healthier version, use Greek yogurt or low-fat cream cheese.
Make ahead: prepare apple mixture in advance and assemble just before serving.
