Dice apples into 1/2 inch cubes. Place in a sturdy pan and mix in lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring slowly to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add cranberries and boil for 5 minutes. Make a thin paste by stirring in water into the flour. Add this mixture to the apples and cranberries; cook, stirring constantly until th emixture has thickened.

Pour the boiling mixture evenly into the wonton cups. Return to the oven for 15 minutes. Remove, let cool slightly, and serve.

Spread 2 tbsp cream cheese on each tortilla. Sprinkle pineapple and sunflower kernels evenly among tortillas.  Place 2 ham slices on each tortilla. Begin rolling from the bottom up and secure with toothpicks.
