Spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat cream cheese on half of each whole wheat tortilla.
Spread 1 tablespoon of apricot preserves over the cream cheese layer.
Layer a few fresh apricot slices evenly over the preserves, then sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top.
Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of honey over the apricot slices for added sweetness.
Fold the tortillas in half to form a semicircle, pressing gently to seal.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the folded quesadillas in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool slightly.
Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with a light dusting of cinnamon or a small dollop of low-fat whipped cream.
