Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat for a healthier option)

1 cup apple butter (store-bought or homemade)

8 ounces cream cheese, softened (or goat cheese for a tangier flavor)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)

1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional, for added crunch)

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling)

Fresh apple slices, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling:

    In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese (or goat cheese) with ground cinnamon and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. This will be your creamy base layer.

      Spread the Apple Butter:

        Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of apple butter over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving about half an inch from the edges.

          Add the Cream Cheese Mixture:

            Spoon dollops of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the apple butter, then use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently spread it out, ensuring an even layer on top of the apple butter.

              Sprinkle the Cheese:

                Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the cream cheese layer, and add the chopped pecans if you are using them, for an extra crunch.

                  Roll it Up:

                    Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla tightly away from you, making sure to keep the filling intact. Secure with toothpicks if necessary, and repeat with the remaining tortillas.

                      Cut and Serve:

                        Once everyone's rolled up, use a sharp knife to slice the roll-ups into bite-sized pinwheels (about 1-inch thick). Arrange on a platter.

                          Drizzle with Honey:

                            If desired, drizzle honey over the roll-ups for a touch of sweetness, and serve with fresh apple slices on the side for a refreshing contrast.
