Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

Eight 6-inch whole wheat tortillas
Cooking spray or olive oil, for oiling tortillas
1 tablespoon spicy brown or Dijon mustard
1 cup shredded low-sodium Swiss (4 ounces)
4 ounces very thinly sliced low-sodium lean Black Forest or Virginia ham
1/2 small red onion, extra thinly sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons no-sugar-added apple butter, plus more for topping, optional
2 small apples, cut into thin sticks (red and green)
Lemon juice and ground cinnamon for tossing

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
Spray 4 of the tortillas with cooking spray (or brush with olive oil). Lay the oiled tortillas on a large cutting board oiled-side down. Brush with the mustard and sprinkle with about half of the cheese. Top each evenly with a thin layer of ham, onions and some pepper, and then finish with the remaining cheese.
Brush the apple butter evenly on the remaining tortillas. Place one apple-butter tortilla on top of a ham-and-cheese tortilla (filling sides in), and firmly press the tortillas together to make a quesadilla.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lay a quesadilla oiled-side down in the pan and cook until golden brown and the cheese starts to melt, about 2 minutes. Spray the top of the quesadilla with cooking spray, turn and cook until the other side browns and the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
Cut the quesadillas into 4 wedges and arrange on plates. Toss the apples with lemon and juice and cinnamon to taste. Serve with the apple slices.

CREAM CHEESE APPLE PIE QUESADILLA

Cream Cheese Apple Pie Quesadilla image

This is so good! The cream cheese melts into the apple pie filling, and tastes almost custardy. I usually use wheat tortillas and light cream cheese because that's what we have in the house.

Time 5m

Yield 1 quesadilla

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon butter, melted
1 medium white flour tortillas or 1 medium wheat flour tortilla
1 tablespoon cream cheese or 1 tablespoon light cream cheese
1/3 cup apple pie filling
cinnamon (optional)
whipped cream (optional)
powdered sugar (optional)
vanilla ice cream (optional)

Steps:

Spread cream cheese on one side of the tortilla, completely covering it, using more around the edges, as this will help seal in the pie filling.
Pour the filling on top of the cream cheese layer and cut apple slices into 1/2 inch pieces with a spoon or butterknife.
Sprinkle pie filling with cinnamon, if desired.
Fold tortilla over, gently pressing the edges to seal.
Brush one side with the melted butter, and put the tortilla, butter side down, into a skillet pre-heated to medium.
While that side is grilling, brush the unbuttered side with the remaining butter.
Grill until golden, flip, and grill the other side until golden.
Remove from skillet and serve with powdered sugar, whipped cream, ice cream, and additional cinnamon, if desired.
