Instructions
Step 1
1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir to coat the apples evenly.
Step 2
2. Cook the apple mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the sugar has caramelized slightly. Stir in the vanilla extract during the last minute of cooking. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
3. Place one tortilla on a clean surface. If using cream cheese or yogurt, spread half of it evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 4
4. Spoon half of the warm apple mixture over one half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling, pressing gently to seal.

Step 6
6. Repeat with the second tortilla and remaining apple mixture.
