How to Make Apple & Cheese Quesadillas

Looking for a super quick lunch idea? Apple and Cheese Quesadillas can be whipped up in ten minutes. They are really easy to prepare, quick to cook and always a hit. Here's a look at the process involved...

1. Core, half and thinly slice an apple
2. Sprinkle some cheese on a tortilla wrap
3. Add the apple slices
4. Sprinkle on a little more cheese
5. Top with a second tortilla
6. Heat a large frying pan on medium heat and carefully transfer the quesadilla to pan
7. Cook for 2-3 mins (or until golden), carefully flip using a fish slice/spatula and cook for a further 2-3 min.

Serving Suggestions

To complete your quesadilla lunch, why not try serving it with some simple sides. We love:

• A Side Salad
• Roasted Vegetables
• Dip (such as sour cream/yoghurt/guacamole)
• Beans (pinto / black beans etc)
• Corn on the cob
• Fruit

What Tortilla Wraps Should I Use?

You can use whatever you prefer. Flour, whole wheat and corn will all work. Just make sure they are soft so they hold together well. Tortilla wraps can vary in size, I usually use a medium-sized wrap (easier to flip than the large ones). 

Added Filling Ideas

Why not try adding one (or all) of these to your quesadilla

• caramelised onions
• fresh thyme
• ham

Storage Instructions

These quesadillas are best eaten warm, straight after cooking.

Recipe Notes

You can replace the cheddar cheese with any good melting cheese (such as Tasty, Monterey Jack, Colby, Gouda)

I used a non-stick pan and required no oil. Depending on your pan, you may need a light spray of oil.
