How to Make Apple Cheddar Quesadillas
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of butter evenly across the skillet.
- Lay out one flour tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the tortilla.
- Arrange several thin apple slices (about 1/2 a medium apple, thinly sliced) barely overlapping on top of the cheese.
- Sprinkle an additional 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese over the apples.
- Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to seal the edges.
- 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.
- Repeat steps 3-7 with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
- 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!
