Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 1 medium Apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Caramel sauce
- 0.25 cups Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Peel, core, and dice the apple into small cubes.
In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced apple, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Cook for 4-5 minutes while stirring, until the apples are tender and caramelized.
Remove the cooked apples from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean, then melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Place one tortilla flat into the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese (if using) over the tortilla.
Spread the cooked apples evenly across the tortilla, then drizzle 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce over the apples.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese (if using) on top, and place the second tortilla over the filling to create a quesadilla sandwich.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of caramel sauce over the quesadilla, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve warm.
