Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Quesadillas: A Sweet Morning Start
These quesadillas bring the cozy taste of apple pie to your breakfast plate. They are warm, sweet, and perfect for a comforting morning meal.
Key Ingredients & Tips
- Fresh Apples: Use crisp apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor in these sweet quesadillas.
- Cinnamon Sugar: Don’t skip this; it adds that classic sweet spice that makes the breakfast dish special.
- Tortilla Choice: Smaller flour tortillas work best for a single breakfast serving; pick ones that are soft and flexible.
What You Need
- Small flour tortillas
- 1-2 apples, diced
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp cream cheese (optional)
⏱️ Time: 15 minutes🍽️ Yields: 2 servings
How to Make It
Step 1: Prep Apple Filling
In a small pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, cinnamon, and sugar. Cook until the apples are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2: Assemble Quesadillas
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on one half of each tortilla if you are using it. Spoon the cooked apple mixture onto the same half. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to create a crescent shape.
Step 3: Cook Until Golden
Heat a clean pan over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and warm through. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
📝 Final Note
Serve these warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra goodness. They are best enjoyed fresh.

Step 2: Assemble Quesadillas
Lay a tortilla flat. Sprinkle shredded cheese on one half, then add the scrambled eggs and crumbled bacon. Fold the other half of the tortilla over.
