Sweet Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Quesadillas
If you love sweet breakfast, these apple cinnamon quesadillas are a perfect choice. Warm, soft apples with a hint of spice, all tucked into a crispy tortilla, make a delightful morning meal.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Apple Quesadillas
- Soft Apples: Cook your diced apples until they are tender but still have a little bite for the best texture in your quesadilla.
- Cheese Choice: Use a mild, good-melting cheese like Monterey Jack or a similar blend so it doesn’t overpower the apple and cinnamon flavors.
What You Need for Apple Cinnamon Quesadillas
- 2 flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 1 medium apple (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), diced small
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray

How to Make Apple Cinnamon Quesadillas
Step 1: Prep the Apples
In a small pan, cook your diced apples with cinnamon and brown sugar over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes. Stir them often until the apples are tender.
Step 2: Assemble Your Quesadilla
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with butter or cooking spray. Place one tortilla in the pan. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese, then spoon half of the cooked apples on top. Add the remaining half of the cheese and place the second tortilla on top.
Step 3: Cook Until Golden
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is completely melted. Remove from the pan, slice into wedges, and serve right away.

A little drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of vanilla yogurt makes these sweet quesadillas extra delightful.
