  • 1 can apple pie filling 20 oz
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.

  • Place one tortilla in the pan.
  • Cook the tortilla for approximately 1 minute, or until it begins to crisp lightly.

  • Carefully flip the quesadilla if needed to warm and crisp both sides evenly.
  • Remove the quesadilla from the pan.
  • Sprinkle the top with the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Transfer the quesadilla to a cooling rack.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, butter, caramel sauce, and apple pie filling.
  • Allow the quesadillas to cool slightly before slicing.
  • Cut each quesadilla into quarters.
  • Serve with additional caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream, or whipped cream if desired.
