How to Make Apple Jack Quesadilla Rachael Ray

  1. Prepare the tortillas: Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute to make them pliable.
  2. Assemble the quesadillas: Lay tortillas on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of apple butter or jelly evenly over each tortilla.
  3. Add the filling: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over one half of each tortilla. Top with half of the sliced apples, followed by the remaining cheese.
  4. Fold and cook: Fold the tortillas in half to form a half-moon shape.
  5. Heat the pan: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Cook the quesadillas: Place quesadillas in the hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Keep warm (optional): Transfer cooked quesadillas to a baking sheet and place in a 200°F (93°C) oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining quesadilla.
  8. Serve: Cut each quesadilla into quarters and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
