For a gluten-free version, use corn tortillas. Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties, such as Granny Smith or Fuji, for a unique flavor profile. Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the apple mixture for an extra layer of warmth. For a richer flavor, sauté the apples in a tablespoon of butter before adding the other ingredients. These quesadillas are best served warm. If making ahead, reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Apple Filling: In a large skillet, combine diced apple, corn syrup, honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, and brown sugar. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02
StepCaramelize the Apples: Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are slightly softened and beautifully caramelized. This should take approximately 8-10 minutes. Transfer the apple mixture to a bowl and set aside.
03
StepAssemble the Quesadilla: Place one tortilla in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Spread the warm apple mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border. (Assembly time: 2 minutes)
04
StepTop and Cook: Carefully place the second tortilla on top of the apple mixture. Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
05
StepFlip and Finish: Gently flip the quesadilla using a large spatula. Continue cooking until the second tortilla is golden brown and the filling is heated through, another 2-3 minutes.
06
StepServe: Remove from skillet, slice into wedges, and serve immediately. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as a drizzle of honey, a dusting of confectioners' sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream.
