Description
This Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Quesadillas recipe is a sweet and savory morning delight, perfect for cozy brunches or quick weekday breakfasts. Made with warm spiced apples, creamy cheese, and golden tortillas, it’s an easy skillet breakfast that’s kid-friendly, freezer-friendly, and irresistibly delicious.
Ingredients
1 cup thinly sliced apples
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar
4 ounces cream cheese
4 medium flour tortillas
2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
1. Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss them in a bowl with the cinnamon and sugar until well coated.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the apple mixture and sauté for 5–7 minutes, until tender and caramelized. Set aside.
3. Spread cream cheese over half of each tortilla. Top with the warm apple mixture, then fold each tortilla into a half-moon.
4. Heat remaining butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Toast the quesadillas on each side until golden and crisp, about 2–3 minutes per side.
5. Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve warm with powdered sugar or maple syrup if desired.
Notes
Make sure the apple slices are thin and uniform so they cook evenly.
Don’t overfill the tortillas—too much filling makes flipping messy.
For extra crunch, sprinkle some chopped pecans into the filling.
