Apple and Cheese Quesadilla

(from Peachblossm’s recipe box)

Yummy and so simple!
Serves 1, but you’ll have half (or more) of an apple left so you could easily double or quadruple this (the original recipe serves 4). But I’m happy to make 1 and eat the rest of the apple as a snack or side.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 of medium apple, cored and sliced thin (use up to 1/2 the apple if its small)
  • 1 whole wheat tortilla (about 9-inch diameter)
  • 1/4 cup (1 ounce) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

  1. Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

  2. Fan out the apple slices over the bottom half of the tortilla and top with cheddar cheese (or put half of the cheese down, then fan out the apples and top with the remaining cheese… I find that gives better cheese coverage).

  3. Fold tortilla in half and place on the skillet, weighing it down with another smaller skillet or ovenproof plate. Cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.

  4. Cut in half and eat warm.
