Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat for a wholesome twist)

1 cup apple butter (store-bought or homemade for a personal touch)

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

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or your choice of cheese)

1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional for added texture)

1 tablespoon honey (optional drizzle for sweetness)

Fresh apple slices, for serving (optional, adds brightness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Creamy Filling:

    In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese (or goat cheese) with the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract. Mix until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, creating a delightful base layer for your roll-ups.

      Spread the Apple Butter:

        Take one tortilla and lay it flat on a clean countertop or cutting board. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread a generous layer of apple butter over the entire tortilla, making sure to leave about a half-inch border around the edges.

          Layer with Cream Cheese Mixture:

            Spoon dollops of your creamy mixture across the apple butter layer. Gently spread the cream cheese evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon, ensuring it covers the apple butter.

              Add Cheese and Crunch:

                Evenly scatter the shredded cheddar cheese atop the cream cheese layer. If you're using chopped pecans, sprinkle them over the cheese for an added element of crunch and flavor.

                  Roll it Up Tightly:

                    Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla away from you, keeping the filling snug and intact. Once rolled, secure the ends with toothpicks if needed. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.

                      Slice and Present:

                        Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange the pinwheels artfully on a serving platter to showcase their colorful layers.

                          Drizzle and Serve:

                            For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle honey over the assembled roll-ups just before serving. Pair with fresh slices of apple on the side for a refreshing bite that complements the flavors beautifully.
