Cream Cheese Apple Pie Quesadilla

Submitted by 89240

"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."

 

• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 1 quesadilla

ingredients

• 2.46 ml butter, melted
• 1 medium white flour tortillas or 1 medium wheat flour tortilla
• 14.79 ml cream cheese or 14.79 ml light cream cheese
• 78.78 ml apple pie filling
• cinnamon (optional)
• whipped cream (optional)
• powdered sugar (optional)
• vanilla ice cream (optional)

directions

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

Served these to friends and got rave reviews. Baked the quesadilla rather than grilling. Use two tortillas, sandwich the filling between them. Spritz with butter-flavor spray then sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar.
