- Add the cinnamon apples over the cheesecake layer and fold each tortilla in half.

Chef’s Notes
- * Use firm apples like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Granny Smith for the best texture.
- * Let cooked apples cool slightly before assembling to prevent soggy tortillas.
- * Avoid overfilling the tortillas because the cheesecake filling can leak while cooking.
- * Reheat leftovers in a skillet or air fryer to restore crispness.
- * Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
