How to Make Apple Cheese Quesadilla
- Peel and dice 1 medium apple into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Lightly spray a large frying pan with cooking spray. Sauté the diced apple over medium heat until lightly browned (about 3-5 minutes). Remove the apples from the pan and set aside. Re-spray the pan with cooking spray.
- Place one flour tortilla in the pan. Evenly distribute 1/2 cup of the sautéed apples, 1/2 teaspoon of Splenda, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 slice of cheddar cheese (about 1 ounce) in the center of the tortilla.
- Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the underside of the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Carefully fold the tortilla in half. Remove the quesadilla from the pan and place it on a serving plate.
- Repeat steps 3-5 with the remaining tortilla and ingredients.
- Serve warm with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping (optional).
- Enjoy your delicious and easy Apple Cheese Quesadilla!
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!
