Ingredients:
4 (21 oz) cans apple pie filling, coarsely chopped (or, cherry pie filling)
40 (8 inch) flour tortillas
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp ground cinnamon, divided (adjust to taste)
1 3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
7 (8 oz) pkgs of reduced-fat cream cheese, room temperature
3 sticks butter, room temperature
3 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar, divided
3 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2 cups water
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp cornstarch combined with 3 Tbsp water in separate bowl (optional, as thickener)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, vanilla and 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar until smooth

4. Divide and spoon fruit evenly across the center of each tortilla

Your recipe doesn’t explain how/when to use the cream cheese mixture or what the cornstarch is for.
Could you please let me know.
