Instructions

In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. (Optional step)

Spread cream cheese mixture onto one side of each tortilla, if using.

Chop apple filling finely. In a bowl, mix apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

Spread apple mixture over half of each tortilla. Fold to form half-moons.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

Let cool slightly. Slice into wedges and serve warm with toppings of choice.

Notes

Finely chopping the apples ensures even flavor and easier eating.

Use homemade or canned apple pie filling based on your preference.

Easily adaptable with gluten-free tortillas or dairy-free cream cheese if needed.

Great as a breakfast, brunch item, or fall dessert.
