Prepare the Filling:

o In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ¼ cup of the sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar:

o In a small bowl, mix together the remaining ¾ cup of sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Assemble the Roll-Ups:

o Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or giving it a light coating of grease.

o Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread until thin and pliable.

o Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each flattened slice of bread.

o Roll up each slice tightly, starting from one end, and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Coat the Roll-Ups:

o Brush each roll-up generously with melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

o Place the coated roll-ups back on the baking sheet, seam-side down.

Bake:

o Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the roll-ups are golden brown and slightly crispy.

Serve:

o Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these delicious Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups warm, with a dusting of powdered sugar if desired, or with a side of fresh fruit.
