Honeycrisp! These sweet juicy apples are a fall favorite in my household and we go through them quickly.

Learn how to make cheese quesadillas with apples, bacon and cheddar
Ingredients
- 1 Honeycrisp apple, cored and thinly sliced
- 4 pieces of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 flour tortillas
Instructions
- Bring a large skillet pan to medium heat. Once the pan is hot, place the tortilla in the pan and layer on the bacon pieces, apples and cheddar cheese. Top with the other tortilla and cook for about two minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Use a spatula to check often. Flip the quesadilla being careful to keep ingredients sandwiched between the two tortillas. Once the other tortilla is golden brown, your quesadilla is ready.
