How to Make Cream Cheese Apple Pie Quesadilla

Spread 2 tablespoons of softened light cream cheese evenly onto one half of a 6-inch wheat tortilla, extending it slightly beyond the center to create a seal.
Spoon 1/2 cup of apple pie filling onto the cream cheese layer. Cut any large apple pieces into 1/2-inch pieces using a spoon or butter knife.
Sprinkle lightly with 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, if desired.
Fold the tortilla in half, pressing the edges firmly to create a tight seal.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Brush one side of the quesadilla with half of the melted butter.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the quesadilla, butter-side down, in the skillet.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush the uncooked side with the remaining butter.
Flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is heated through.
Remove from skillet and serve immediately. Garnish with powdered sugar, whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and extra cinnamon, if desired.
