For the cheesecake filling:
6 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp monk fruit sweetener
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
For the apple filling:
1 medium apple, peeled and finely diced
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp monk fruit sweetener
For the roll-ups:
6 low-carb tortillas or keto-friendly wraps
2 tbsp melted butter for brushing
1 tsp cinnamon for topping
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the diced apples, cinnamon, and monk fruit sweetener. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the apples become tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of cheesecake filling across each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Spoon a portion of the cinnamon apple mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape and place seam-side down.
Brush the outside of each roll-up with melted butter and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the roll-ups seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.

Storage/Reheating
Store leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium-low heat for a few minutes until warmed through and crispy again. You can also reheat them in an air fryer at 350°F for about 3 to 4 minutes.
Avoid microwaving for too long, as the tortillas may become soft instead of crispy.
These roll-ups can also be frozen. Wrap each one individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
FAQs
Can I use regular sugar instead of monk fruit sweetener?
Yes, you can substitute regular sugar if you are not following a sugar-free diet.
What type of apple works best?
Firm apples like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji work very well because they hold their texture during cooking.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling in advance and assemble the roll-ups later.
Are these roll-ups keto-friendly?
They can be keto-friendly if you use low-carb tortillas and keep the apple portions moderate.
Can I use another sweetener?
Yes, erythritol or stevia blends can also work in this recipe.
How do I keep the roll-ups crispy?
Cook them in a skillet until golden brown and avoid stacking them while hot.
Can I bake them instead of frying?
Yes, bake at 375°F for about 12 to 15 minutes, turning halfway through.
Can I add nuts?
Absolutely. Chopped pecans or walnuts pair beautifully with the cinnamon apple flavor.
What can I serve with these roll-ups?
They taste great with whipped cream, sugar-free caramel sauce, or a scoop of low-sugar ice cream.
Can I freeze the cheesecake filling separately?
Yes, the filling can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
