Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

2 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for sweetness)

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tbsp brown sugar (adjust based on the sweetness of the apples)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (for a savory contrast)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

2 tbsp butter, for cooking

Honey or maple syrup, for drizzling (optional)

Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Wash and core the apples, then thinly slice them into half-moons. You can peel them if you prefer a smoother texture, but leaving the skin on adds extra nutrients and crunch.

    Mix the Cinnamon and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar. Toss the mixture until the apples are well-coated with the cinnamon-sugar blend.

      Assemble the Quesadillas:

        - Take one tortilla and spread a layer of softened cream cheese over half of it.

          - Sprinkle a handful of shredded cheddar cheese over the cream cheese.

            - Evenly distribute a portion of the prepared apple mixture on top of the cheese.

              - Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape.

                Cook the Quesadillas:

                  - In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is foamy, place the folded quesadilla in the skillet.

                    - Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden and crispy, and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding more butter as needed.

                      Slice and Serve: Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing it into triangles.

                        Garnish and Enjoy: Arrange the quesadilla triangles on a serving plate. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful sweet-savory combination!
