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

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.

  • Sprinkle pie filling with cinnamon, if desired.
  • Fold tortilla over, gently pressing the edges to seal.

  • 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.

  • Use ripe apples: Softer apples will cook down better.
  • Slice apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different apples will give your quesadilla a complex flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the apples in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the apples until they are soft: This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add cinnamon and sugar to taste: Start with a small amount and add more until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese: This will make your quesadilla extra creamy and delicious.
  • Spread the cream cheese evenly: This will help it melt evenly.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Different cheeses will give your quesadilla a complex flavor and texture.
  • Fold the quesadilla in half or quarters: This will make it easier to eat.
  • Serve the quesadilla with your favorite toppings: Such as whipped cream, ice cream, or caramel sauce.
