Ingredients
- For the Filling:
- 1 medium apple (Granny Smith or Fuji works well), peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 1-2 tsp zero-calorie sweetener (like Stevia or Monk Fruit)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp water
- For the Quesadilla:
- 2 low-point tortillas (like Ole Xtreme Wellness or WW-friendly brands)
- Nonstick cooking spray or 1/2 tsp light butter spread (optional, adjust points if used)
- Optional Toppings:
- Fat-free whipped topping
- Powdered sugar (light sprinkle)
- Sugar-free caramel drizzle
Instructions
- Cook the Apple Filling:
- Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the diced apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, sweetener, vanilla extract, and water.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Assemble the Quesadilla:
- Lay one tortilla flat and spread the cooked apple mixture evenly over one half.
- Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to seal.
- Cook the Quesadilla:
- Wipe the skillet clean and spray with nonstick cooking spray (or use a small amount of light butter for extra crispiness).
- Place the folded tortilla in the skillet and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Slice and Serve:
- Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve warm. Add optional toppings like whipped topping or a drizzle of sugar-free caramel for an extra-special touch.
Tips and Variations:
- Add Some Crunch: Sprinkle a few crushed nuts (like pecans or walnuts) inside for texture (adjust points if added).
- Use Different Fruits: Try swapping apples for pears or adding a few raisins for a twist.
- Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom for a more complex flavor profile.
- Meal Prep: Cook the apple filling ahead of time and refrigerate. Assemble and cook the quesadilla fresh for the best texture.
