Sweet Quesadillas

1 tablespoon butter

2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

4 ounces cream cheese

8 flour tortillas, 6-inch rounds

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the apples, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook, stirring gently, until the apples are just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Spread the cream cheese over 4 of the tortillas. Divide the apple mixture between the tortillas, spreading it over the cream cheese. Top with the remaining 4 tortillas.

In a clean dry skillet over medium-high heat, toast each assembled quesadilla, about 2 minutes per side. Serve warm.

Serves four.
