Apple-icious: Try this apple, cheese quesadilla

I'm not sure if I want to make this recipe more for my kids or for me. Containing just 115 calories per serving, along with 5 g protein, 3.5 g fat, 143 mg calcium, 14 mcg folate, 1.5 g fiber, and 18 g carbohydrates, this light little treat is quite temping. But it caught my eye because of my kids -- with whom I was sitting in the pediatrician's office while reading Toddler Magazine -- so I'm going to test it out on them one of these days. And yes, I'll be sampling it too.

Apple and Cheese Quesadilla

Here's what you need:
  • 1/3 cup finely diced Gala, Golden Delicious, McIntosh, or Cortland apples
  • 8-inch whole-grain flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon apple butter
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheese
Here's what you do:
  • Spread apple butter almost to the edge of of two tortillas.
  • Sprinkle half of each tortilla with shredded cheese and diced apples.
  • Fold tortillas in half and heat in hot skillet with nonstick spray for 2 to 4 minutes per side, until tortilla is browned and cheese is melted inside.
  • Cool and cut into bite-size pieces.
  • And then finally -- enjoy!
