How to Make Apple Cinnamon Quesadillas And Spice Yogurt Dipping Sauce
- **Make the Spiced Yogurt Dipping Sauce:** In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons applesauce, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix well and chill until ready to serve.
- **Prepare the Apple Filling:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and diced), 1 tablespoon applesauce, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix gently.
- **Assemble the Quesadillas:** Lay out two large flour tortillas. Spoon half of the apple mixture onto one half of each tortilla. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
- **Fold and Cook:** Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Repeat with the remaining tortilla and filling.
- **Cook the Quesadillas:** Heat a lightly oiled large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the quesadillas for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- **Serve:** Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges and serve immediately with the chilled spiced yogurt dipping sauce.
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!
