Description

Delight in these warm and comforting apple cinnamon breakfast quesadillas, filled with juicy apples, creamy cheese, and a touch of cinnamon, all nestled in a crispy tortilla.


Ingredients

  • 2 medium apples, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Spread cream cheese on one side of each tortilla.
  3. Layer apples and cheddar on half of each tortilla, then fold in half.
  4. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadillas for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider experimenting with different apple varieties or adding nuts to the filling. Serve with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey.
