"I'm always on the lookout for healthy lunches and snacks for the grandkids. They love these! The serving size listed is based on the number of tortillas used to get a true picture of nutritional data. No way this serves 6 as written!"

Really enjoyed the combo of Fuji apples & the cheddar cheese ~ Quite a bit like the apple pie & cheese combo that my mom used to make! And, although I'm not usuallya big on whole wheat tortillas, they definitely worked in this recipe! Will certainly be making these again & again! Thanks for posting the recipe!

Mmmm... I just made this for lunch. I have never had the combination of apples and cheese, before trying this. I sprayed the griddle with cooking spray and used a flour tortilla and American cheese, because I didn't have the right ingredients - but I'm not gonna fault the chef for my not going to the grocery store...hehe. I am definitely going to make this again (with the RIGHT stuff). :) Thanks! -
This was a very yummy snack! I used extra old cheddar and Granny Smiths. I kept thinking I'd love something to dip it in but wasn't sure what...caramel, sour cream, creme fraiche? Anyway, I didn't and they were very good. I can see making these very often. Thanks for a quick, tasty, good for you snack :) -
John and I enjoyed these for breakfast! Using 1 apple and 4 flour tortillas, the cheese I didn`t measure and the butter I used a spray. I made it on a whole tortilla then topped with a whole one instead of folding in 1/2. I sprinkled with a dusting of cinnamon! Thanks! -
these were a great fast and delicious breakfast. Since i only had granny smith i added a smidgeon of nutella spread to it as well

We used regular flour tortillas instead of whole wheat and granny smith apples. Enjoyed these for a quick weekend snack with sharp cheddar cheese sprinkled on the apples. Very tasty and versatile recipe!
