Description
Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Quesadillas are a warm, sweet, and easy morning treat that brings together soft, spiced apples and crisp tortillas. It’s like enjoying apple pie for breakfast—quick, cozy, and customizable.
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1–2 teaspoons sugar or maple syrup (to taste)
- 2 flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the pan)
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese or shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and dice the apples into small pieces.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the apples with cinnamon and sugar or maple syrup until soft and lightly caramelized, about 5–7 minutes.
- In a separate clean skillet, warm a tortilla with a bit of butter.
- Spread cream cheese on one side of the tortilla if using, then spoon the warm apple mixture over half of the tortilla.
- Fold the tortilla over the filling and cook on both sides until golden brown and crisp.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm. Optionally, top with powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey.
Notes
- Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
- Swap apples for pears or add raisins for added sweetness.
- Use Nutella or caramel sauce for indulgence.
- Sharp cheddar can be used for a savory-sweet twist.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet for best texture.
