Ingredients
- 2 large Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 medium Apple (recommend Gala, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the apple. Core and thinly slice the apple into even slices (about 1/8-inch thick).
Step 2
Grate the cheddar cheese if it's not pre-shredded, and set it aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon with the sliced apples to lightly coat them. If you’re using honey for added sweetness, drizzle it over the apples and toss gently.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 5
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each tortilla.
Step 6
Place one tortilla, butter-side down, into the hot skillet.
Step 7
Evenly sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese onto the tortilla in the skillet.
Step 8
Add a single layer of apple slices on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the apples, then place the second tortilla on top, butter-side up.
Step 9
Cook the quesadilla for 2–3 minutes, carefully pressing down with a spatula to encourage melting. When the bottom tortilla is golden-brown and crispy, flip the quesadilla gently.
Step 10
Cook the second side for another 2–3 minutes until golden-brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 11
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute to cool slightly. Slice into wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter and serve immediately.
