Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1 apple, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and core the apple, then slice it thinly into uniform pieces that will distribute evenly across the tortilla.
- Warm a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add butter and allow it to melt completely, coating the cooking surface.
- Place one flour tortilla flat in the buttered skillet, ensuring even heat distribution.
- Spread a generous layer of Nutella across half of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edge to prevent spillage.
- Arrange the thinly sliced apple pieces in a single layer over the Nutella, covering the spread evenly.
- Carefully fold the tortilla in half, creating a half-moon shape that encases the Nutella and apple filling.
- Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla turns golden brown and crispy, and the Nutella becomes slightly melted.
- Remove from heat, transfer to a cutting board, and let cool for one minute.
- Cut the quesadilla into triangular wedges and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture experience.
Tips
- Choose a crisp, slightly tart apple like Granny Smith to balance the sweetness of Nutella
- Ensure your skillet is at medium heat to prevent burning and achieve that perfect golden-brown color
- Don't overstuff the quesadilla - a thin, even layer of Nutella and apple works best
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned griddle to prevent sticking
- Let the quesadilla rest for a minute after cooking to allow the Nutella to set slightly
- For extra indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce
- If you want a crunchier texture, press the quesadilla gently while cooking
