Steps:
- Core and slice apple into wedges.
- Divide the peanut butter evenly among the slices. I usually spread mine along the inner edge.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that hold their shape well when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Don't overcook the apples: Cook the apples just until they are softened but still retain their crunch. Overcooked apples will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use a good quality peanut butter: Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and has no added sugar or salt.
- Spread the peanut butter evenly: Spread the peanut butter evenly on the tortilla so that it doesn't all end up in one spot.
- Don't overload the quesadilla: Don't pile too many fillings onto the quesadilla, or it will be difficult to fold and cook evenly.
- Cook the quesadilla over medium heat: Cook the quesadilla over medium heat so that it has time to cook through without burning.
- Serve the quesadilla immediately: Serve the quesadilla immediately after it is cooked, while it is still warm and crispy.
