Ingredients
  

2 large flour tortillas

1 large apple (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and thinly sliced

2 tablespoons peanut butter (or almond butter)

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup granola (or crushed nuts for extra crunch)

Optional: 1 tablespoon raisins or dried cranberries

Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruit: Begin by peeling your chosen apple. Slice it into thin wedges to ensure they fit well into the roll. If you're adding dried fruits like raisins or cranberries for extra sweetness, set them aside for use later.

    Mix Sweet Spread: In a small mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter (or almond butter) with honey. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more honey or syrup if desired.

      Spread the Mixture: Place one flour tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread half of the sweet peanut butter mixture evenly across the tortilla, leaving about an inch of space from the edges to prevent overflow during rolling.

        Layer the Apples: Position half of the apple slices lengthwise in the center of the tortilla over the peanut butter spread. Sprinkle half of the ground cinnamon and half of the granola (or crushed nuts) over the apple slices. If using dried fruit, add it on top as well for a burst of flavor.

          Roll It Up: Starting from one end, gently roll the tortilla away from you, keeping the filling tucked tightly inside. Make sure to roll it snugly to prevent the filling from spilling out. Repeat this process with the second tortilla and the remaining ingredients.

            Slice and Serve: Once both roll-ups are prepared, use a sharp knife to cut each roll into bite-sized pieces. You should achieve about 8-10 pieces per roll, giving you a total of approximately 16-20 delightful bites.

              Optional Dusting: For a whimsical touch, sprinkle a light dusting of powdered sugar over the roll-ups right before serving to add an extra hint of sweetness and a beautiful presentation.

                Pack for School: For a convenient snack, transfer the sweet apple roll-ups into a snack container or wrap them in parchment paper for an easy, on-the-go school treat!
