Caramel Apple Quesadillas

Servings: 4.

Why you’ll love it: Soft caramelized apples, dusted with cinnamon and sugar, and nestled between two soft flour tortillas. A drizzle of caramel and this is one amazing dessert. Serving suggestion: After I served the quesadillas (and they were devoured), I realized a nice piece of sharp Cheddar cheese on the side would have been incredible.

Best varieties: Gala, McIntosh, Jonagold, Empire and Macoun. 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened and

divided

2 apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced

(about 1⁄4-inch thick)

3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

4 fajita-size soft flour tortillas

4 teaspoons caramel sauce, plus more for

drizzling over top

Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the apples and cook until just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and cook until soft and caramelized, about 5 more minutes, stirring frequently. Remove pan from the heat. To assemble quesadillas: Spread 1 teaspoon of the caramel sauce over each tortilla. Top one side of the tortillas with the cooked apples. Fold over the tortillas to cover the filling. Preheat a griddle to medium heat. Spread the remaining tablespoon of butter on both sides of each quesadilla.

Place the quesadillas on the hot griddle and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Transfer the quesadillas to a serving plate and drizzle extra caramel sauce over top.
