How to Make Apple Pie Quesadillas on the Stove
Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cinnamon.
Step 2: Next, pour the apple pie filling onto a cutting board and use a large knife to coarsely chop up the apples. Set aside.
Step 3: In a pan over medium heat, melt ½ tablespoon of butter.
Step 4: Once melted, add a tortilla to the pan for about a minute to allow it to crisp up. Take it out of the pan and set it aside. This tortilla will go on top of the quesadilla.
Step 5: Melt another ½ tablespoon of butter in the pan. Add the second tortilla, then drizzle on 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce. Spread 1 cup of the apple pie filling over the caramel, then drizzle on an additional tablespoon of caramel topping.
Step 6: Then, place the crispy tortilla on top and let the quesadilla heat through. Flip if needed.
Step 7: Finally, dust the top of the apple pie quesadilla with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Step 8: Move it to a cooling rack and repeat the process for the rest of the quesadillas.
Step 9: Allow them to cool slightly before cutting them into quarters, then serve with caramel dipping sauce or vanilla ice cream.

Helpful Tips & Substitutions
I like to use canned apple filling for ease, but you can certainly use your own pie filling recipe. Be sure to cook the filling before adding it to the quesadilla.
You can serve these on their own or top them with ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce!
Use a large spatula to support the quesadilla when flipping. I lift my quesadilla out of the pan, then place the pan on top, so I’m flipping the pan and not the quesadilla itself.

Can you do with any fruits?
Author
Sure! Since it’s canned pie filling, you could use any kinda you’d like! 🙂
Do you use corn or flour tortillas?
Author
Flour. 🙂
Do you toast both sides of the quesadilla? Or, do you just do the outside of them?
Author
Just the outside worked for me but you could do both sides if you prefer the extra crunch!
I love all the ingredients in this recipe so I cant wait to try it.
Just finished making this and everyone loved it. My son loves apples and cinnamon, so this was just perfect for him. I served it topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it was absolutely delicious. Thank you!
