Sweet and salty, crunchy and creamy, these Cheese and Apple Quesadillas are sure to be a hit with the whole family.
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...
- Core, half and thinly slice an apple
- Sprinkle some cheese on a tortilla wrap
- Add the apple slices
- Sprinkle on a little more cheese
- Top with a second tortilla
- Heat a large frying pan on medium heat and carefully transfer the quesadilla to pan
- 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.

My one year old twins loved these for lunch! (and I had one, too!). I'm always looking for new, quick lunches. Thanks for the ideas, keep them coming. Next week's new thing will be one of your toast toppings!
