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.

Notes

• You can serve these on their own or top them with ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce!
• 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. 
• If you need to flip the quesadilla, use a large spatula to support it during the flip.
