- 4 tablespoons Apricot preserves (low sugar)
- 2 pieces Fresh apricots, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
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.
