    Apple QuesadillaPin

    I made myself another yummy quesadilla for lunch this week. This time the filling was crispy bacon, cheddar cheese and delicious apples, drizzled with maple syrup. This would be a perfect lunch with a green salad and small bowl of soup. Simple, but filling, and very tasty! I absolutely loved it. I will be making this quesadilla again for sure, maybe in the fall when apples are season. Enjoy!

      I love the combination of apple and cheese in a quesadilla and adding bacon would make it even better. Looks great!

      The flavors sound just great together in this quesadilla. We eat them a lot with tomato soup - or any soup that doesn't have a lot of substance.
