Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas (10 inches in diameter)

8 ounces of creamy brie cheese, sliced or torn into small pieces

2 medium apples (choose between Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), cored and thinly sliced

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for crunch)

Fresh arugula or baby spinach leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced apples with brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Gently toss until the apple slices are evenly coated. If you prefer a sweeter taste, drizzle the mixture with honey and stir to incorporate. Set the apple mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.

    Assemble the Quesadillas: Take each tortilla and place it flat on a clean surface. On one half of each tortilla, lay down an even layer of brie cheese slices. Then, spoon a generous portion of the cinnamon-sugar apples over the cheese. If desired, sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans on top of the apples for added texture. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing down gently to secure the filling inside.

      Cook the Quesadillas: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter until it sizzles. Carefully place one folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until it turns golden brown. Flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until it is golden and the brie cheese has melted into oozy perfection. For optimal cooking results, consider cooking the quesadillas one at a time.

        Slice and Serve: Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and allow it to cool for a minute. Using a sharp knife, slice the quesadilla into wedges for easy serving. Transfer to a serving plate and, if desired, garnish with fresh arugula or baby spinach for a pop of color and freshness.

          Optional Serving Suggestion: For an extra memorable touch, drizzle additional honey over the quesadilla wedges or dust lightly with powdered sugar right before serving to enhance their sweet appeal.
