Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Quesadilla

- Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium flour tortillas (whole wheat or gluten-free also work)
- 1 large apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese or almond butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- A pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, toss your thinly sliced apples with the cinnamon and honey. Make sure each slice is evenly coated. If you like a little extra warmth, feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger as well.
- Lay your tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese or almond butter evenly across the entire surface of each tortilla. This acts as the “glue” that holds everything together.
- Arrange the seasoned apple slices over one half of each tortilla. Fold the empty half over the apples to create a half-moon shape. Press down gently to ensure the tortilla sticks to the filling.
- Melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the folded tortillas in the pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the filling is warm and gooey.
- Remove the quesadillas from the pan and let them rest for one minute. This allows the filling to set slightly. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice each half-moon into three wedges.
