Apple Quesadilla

Today’s recipe is a spin-off from a recipe I read from Eat Healthy America. The recipe I read didn’t quite work or sound right to me… so here is my version of a delicious apple dessert or snack.  If you have children at all, you have to try this out!  The things you need are probably already in your kitchen or pantry, so you do not even need to go out and shop. 
Yesterday, I made Apple Quesadillas with my daughter and she had a lot of fun helping.  Afterwards, even my husband enjoyed eating it!  First, take about ½ cup of cream cheese (fat free to make it healthier).  Sprinkle it with a good amount of sugar and cinnamon.  Make the mixture to your taste buds…. Not everyone likes as much of one or the other.  Use a fork to mash it all together.  Next, chop up about ½ an apple into small pieces.  At this point, put a pan on the stove to start get hot over high.  Take a large tortilla (you can use a whole wheat tortilla if you want) and spread the cream cheese mixture all over one side of the tortilla. Then put the apple chunks on half of the mixture and close.  Press down to get it to stick together.  Spray one side of the outside with Pam (or whatever you have).  Sprinkle with sugar (or Splenda) and cinnamon.  Place that side down on the pan.  Finally, spray the other side of the tortilla and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.  Flip after a few minutes to cook both sides.  Cut in pieces and serve.  It is a great treat to eat.  Have fun with this one.
Happy cooking.
