1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Pinch of salt

7. Fold bottom edge up, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly.
8. In a clean skillet, melt some butter and place wraps seam-side down.
9. Cook each wrap for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
10. In a small saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons brown sugar.

12. Drizzle wraps with brown sugar butter and dust with powdered sugar.
13. Serve warm, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Use room temperature tortillas to make folding easier and prevent cracks.
Don’t skip the cornstarch—it thickens the filling and prevents leaks.
For a shortcut, you can use canned apple pie filling instead of fresh apples.
