Ingredients

• 2 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 1 piece Apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Caramel sauce
• 0.25 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apple into even pieces.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the apple slices to the skillet. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon, then stir to coat the apples evenly.

Step 4

Cook the apples for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and caramelize. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter, evenly coating the surface.

Step 6

Place one tortilla in the skillet. If using cheddar cheese, sprinkle half of the cheese across the tortilla.

Step 7

Spread the caramelized apples evenly over the tortilla. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce on top.

Step 8

If using cheese, sprinkle the remaining half on top of the apples. Place the second tortilla on top to form a quesadilla.

Step 9

Allow the quesadilla to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden and slightly crisp. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a large spatula.

Step 10

Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and heated through.

Step 11

Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into wedges.

Step 12

Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the sliced quesadilla and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
