Apple and cheese quesadillas

I love pastry, but I can't bake worth a darn. I've learned over the years that I have neither the skill nor the patience required to bake something delicious. If you want proof, just ask my wife about my hissy-fits whenever I try to roll dough. One thing I can do, though, is cook up a mean quesadilla. And so I made this dish, which splits the difference. Essentially, it's an apple pie quesadilla. With a little gooey cheese thrown in to hold everything together and add a bit of savoriness. Pastry conundrum solved.

Ingredient

Cooking time :

15 minutes

1/4 cup

brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup

butter

1 tsp

ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp

ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp

ground allspice

1/4 tsp

ground ginger

1/4 tsp

salt

Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

store bought flour tortillas

100 g

gruyere (or other melty, mild cheese)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Add the brown sugar and butter to a small pot. Put it on low heat and let the sugar and butter melt. Add the spices, salt and apples and turn the heat up to medium-low. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened but not mushy. Take the pot off the heat and let stand a few minutes until room temperature.

* Step 2

Add a small knob of butter to a large nonstick skillet on medium-low heat. Lay in a tortilla and sprinkle half the cheese onto one side of the tortilla only. Add half the cooked apples on top of that, then fold the other half of the tortilla over to form a half moon. Let fry 1 to 2 minutes until crisp and browned, then carefully flip over and brown the other side. Repeat for the second tortilla. Cut the fried tortillas into 2 or 3 pieces and serve with a drizzle of the apple caramel.
