Ingredients

• 4 flour tortillas (8-inch)
• 2 cups apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced; use a mix of sweet and tart apples)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a blend of your choice)
• 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
• Optional: Maple syrup (for serving), powdered sugar (for dusting)

Timing

Making Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Quesadillas takes about 10 minutes for preparation and 10 minutes for cooking.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Apple Filling

1. Cook Apples: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat.

Step 2: Assemble the Quesadillas

1. Layer Ingredients: On one half of each tortilla, layer a portion of the cooked apples and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

Step 3: Cook the Quesadillas

1. Melt Butter: In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
2. Cook Quesadillas: Place the folded quesadillas in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted. You may need to cook them in batches.

Step 4: Serve

1. Slice and Serve: Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly. Slice each quesadilla into wedges.
2. Optional Garnishes: Serve warm with maple syrup for dipping and dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
