- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Apple Filling:
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
Additional:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Nonstick spray or extra butter for cooking
Instructions
- Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Apple Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add sliced apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt. Cook for 5–7 minutes until apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat.
- Assemble: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over two tortillas. Layer the sautéed apples on top, then cover with the remaining tortillas to form quesadillas.
