Use an apple corer to remove the core from the apples.

Peel the apples using a vegetable peeler.

Chop the apples into small pieces, aiming for uniformity, until you have about 5 cups.

Toss the chopped apples in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.

In a 2-quart saucepan, combine 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 cups water.

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes.

Add the apples to the boiling mixture and reduce the heat to low.

Let the apple mixture simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every five minutes.

While the apples are simmering, cut the crusts off the bread (flour tortillas) and set them aside to dry out slightly.

Gently roll the tortillas flat without making them too thin.

Spoon some of the apple filling onto the center of each tortilla, avoiding excess liquid to prevent sogginess.

Roll the tortillas tightly like a burrito, pinching the ends to seal them.

Saturate the outside of the rolled burrito in melted butter and then coat it in a sugar mixture.

Prepare the cream cheese filling by microwaving cream cheese until soft, then mix in 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth.
