This recipe is a favorite of the New York Apple Association. My 4 and 2 year old love this great healty snack. Think of them as little apple pies! Ingredients:
1/3 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
butter-flavored cooking spray |
2 cups apples, slices peeled and coared sliced thin |
1/3 cup raisins |
1/2 teaspoon rum extract |
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas |
1 1/2 cups shredded low-fat cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Combine sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon sugar-cinnamon mixture; set aside.
2. Spray large skillet with cooking spray. Add apples; cook over medium heat until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture, raisins and rum extract. Top each tortilla evenly with cheese to within 1/2 inch of edge. Spread apple mixture over cheese. Spray medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Place 1 tortilla in skillet, filling side up, and heat 1 minute. Remove from skillet; quickly fold in half. Cover and keep warm while heating remaining quesadillas.
3. To serve, cut quesadillas into 3 wedges. Sprinkle with reserved 1 tablespoon sugar-cinnamon mixture. Sprinkle quesadillas lightly with confectioner's sugar, if desired.
4. Microwave Directions Top tortillas as directed. Place 1 to 2 tortillas, filling sides up, on waxed paper. Microwave on HIGH (100% power) 30 to 60 seconds until warm. Remove from microwave; quickly fold in half. Cover and keep warm while microwaving remaining quesadillas. Serve warm.
