Ingredients for Apple Cheddar Quesadillas

  • Whole Wheat Tortillas
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Apples
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

How to Make Apple Cheddar Quesadillas

  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Spread 2 tablespoons of butter evenly across the skillet.
  3. Lay out one flour tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the tortilla.
  4. Arrange several thin apple slices (about 1/2 a medium apple, thinly sliced) barely overlapping on top of the cheese.
  5. Sprinkle an additional 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese over the apples.
  6. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to seal the edges.
  7. Carefully place the quesadilla in the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Repeat steps 3-7 with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
  9. Serve immediately. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley (optional). Enjoy with our Cranberry Coleslaw (recipe #268183) for a delightful contrast of flavors!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
