Ingredients
- ½ cup pecans
- 8 small flour tortillas (or stand & fill tortillas bowls)
- 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
- ½ cup apple pie filling
- ½ cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Roughly chop the pecans and toast in a dry pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
- In each tortilla, layer 1 tablespoon shredded cheese, 1 tablespoon toasted pecans, 1 tablespoon apple pie filling, 1 tablespoon cranberry sauce, and 1 additional tablespoon shredded cheese. Press the tortillas flat.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add half the butter. Cook half the filled quesadillas about three minutes per side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining butter and quesadillas.
- Cut each quesadilla in half. Dust with powdered sugar and a light sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
- Substitute any favorite cheese in these quesadillas. Swiss, cheddar, cream cheese, and goat cheese are all good choices.
- Toasting the pecans is not absolutely necessary but it really brings out their flavor. They can also be toasted in a 350 degree oven instead of on the stove top.
