Wonderful change to a plain old quesadilla. Sweet, salty and barbecued! Use any type of firm red apple. Additional options: add barbecued chicken or chopped jalapeno peppers. Serve warm with sour cream, salsa, guacamole or all three.

I stumbled across this recipe and was a little unsure of whether I wanted to make it or not. Three months later I finally have and I wish I would have done it sooner! I adapted it to fit my taste (no onion mcintosh apples bacon and honey dijon mustard).It was incredibly easy and even the picky members of the family loved it. I would really recommend adding the bacon! Read More

This is a wonderful lite meal. I think I will probably add a few more green onions next time. I used smoked gouda and it was wonderful. This recipe is a definite keeper! Read More

A great and innovative recipe but I would probably leave out the mustard which I found overwhelming and change the simple Gouda to a stronger cheese like the goat's milk gouda Arina or Fontina. Read More

This was a very different recipe. It was easy to make (8 yr. old helped make them) and extremely quick to put together. Very tasty. This is a great recipe if you are looking for something a little different for the everyday quesadillas. Read More

First I grilled the quesadilla following the recipe exactly. I had a hard time getting the finish on it that I wanted so finally I transferred it to a pan which worked much better. I probably would have liked a Granny Smith apple better and I kept wanting something sweet/spicy on it (maybe because it's on a tortilla!) like a mango salsa. Thanks for the idea of this because it opens up lots of new ideas for me! Read More

Wonderful recipe! Tasty and hearty and filling but be sure to use plenty of oil on the outside of the tortillas so they don't stick to the grill! Great suggestion to add chicken for non-vegetarians. Read More
