Ingredients
- 1 large Flour tortilla
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 0.5 medium Apple
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Butter
Instructions
1. Wash the apple thoroughly, then slice it thinly into even pieces (leave the peel on for added texture and nutrients or peel if preferred).
2. Lay the flour tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate.
3. Spread the peanut butter evenly over one side of the tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.
4. Arrange the apple slices on top of the peanut butter in a single layer.
5. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the apple slices for added flavor.
6. (Optional) Drizzle honey over the apple slices for a touch of sweetness.
7. Fold the tortilla in half to form a semicircle, pressing gently to seal it.
8. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.
9. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
10. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring both sides are evenly browned.
11. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board.
12. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing it into wedges.
13. Serve warm and enjoy immediately!
