Peel, core, and dice the apple into small cubes.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 7 grams of butter and add the diced apple.
Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and cook the apples until they are soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on one side of each tortilla.
Spoon the spiced apples over one of the cream cheese-covered tortillas, spreading them out evenly.
Place the second tortilla on top, cream cheese side down, to form a quesadilla.
In a clean skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining butter.
Carefully place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and allow it to cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or an additional sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!
