B is for Blue Cheese Apple Wraps

Every girl's got her summer go-to recipes for quick lunches and simple dinners.  During the hottest months in Virginia, I love pasta salads, microwaved corn on the cob, grilled pizzas loaded up with veggies, giant bowls of watermelon, fresh salads, and lots and lots of seafood.  Summer food is awesome.  

Today I'd like to share with you a recipe that's a smidge more complicated than a sandwich, but worth the extra ten minutes.  Everyone I've ever served these wraps to has absolutely loved them.  The apples give it the perfect crunch.  The cranberries give it a punchy kick.  The cheese spread makes it so creamy and decadent that you'll want to serve these for lunch, appetizers, tailgates, and showers.  Prepare to fall in love with a wrap! 



Blue Cheese Apple Wraps
adapted from Southern Living

  • 1 (8 oz) container light spreadable cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • (4 oz) package crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
  • (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced 
  • 4 cups baby spinach leaves

Stir together cream cheese, milk, garlic and onion powders.   Stir in crumbled blue cheese, pecans, and cranberries. Spread about 1/3 cup cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla. Top each tortilla evenly with apple slices and spinach. Roll up, and secure with wooden picks.  Keep chilled until ready to serve.
