- Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy, and the filling is heated through.

Notes
Use homemade or canned apple pie filling based on preference.Don’t overfill to prevent spillage during cooking.For a fun twist, add a thin layer of cream cheese or chopped nuts inside the quesadilla.Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored and reheated in a skillet or toaster oven.Try other fruit fillings like cherry, peach, or blueberry for variety.
