Apple Gouda Quesadillas Recipe

October 27, 2014 by Susan Bewley

Do you love quesadillas? They are very popular in our household and one of those things that we love to get whenever we are out. With apple season being here, it seemed like the perfect time to bring one of my family’s favorite foods together! At first, I thought that this may be a bit weird, but after a bit of experimenting, we came up with the perfect recipe. You may even be surprised just how yummy this quesadillas recipe is, especially after your kids taste this yummy treat!

Want to know the best part of this recipe? You can easily switch it up with other ingredients in your house. Just make sure to write down the recipes if you come up with the perfect combination and share it with us later! We love to see what our readers come up with, especially when they experiment with some of our fun recipes! This recipe also works well with THIS quesadillas maker.

Note: Special thanks to my friends Shannon at Livingston Creatives for helping me with this recipe and pictures!

  • Author: Susan Bewley
  • Prep Time: 10 mins
  • Cook Time: 20 mins
  • Total Time: 30 mins
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x
  • Category: Lunch or Dinner

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 apples, cored and sliced thinly
  • 1/2 cup freshly shredded Gouda cheese
  • 2 sprigs thyme (stems removed)
  • 2 tortillas or wraps
  • 1/2 medium onion, peeled and sliced thinly and separated
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Over medium heat, start melting the butter. Make sure the pan is very hot and butter is completely melted.
  2. Once the pan is hot enough, start adding the onions and start to stir, to avoid burning. Keep stirring until onions caramelize (this can take 5 – 10 minutes). If the onion starts to dry out, feel free to add more butter. Remove from heat when finished.
  3. While the onions are caramelizing, start adding ingredients in the tortilla shells. First place apples, then thyme, and finally the gouda cheese. Add the caramelized onion and then place second tortilla on top.
  4. Place the quesadilla carefully in a small grill or pan on medium high heat. Heat each side thoroughly for 3 minutes.
  5. When both sides are crisp and cheese is melted, it is ready. Cut with a pizza slicer or sharp knife. Serve hot.

    Hmmm interesting, I would have never thought to put apple in a quesadilla I am curious to see what it taste like. I’m going to have to try this. It looks pretty good.

    I love quesadillas, but I would have never thought of this combination of ingredients! It sounds strange but I think I would like it because I like all the ingredients individually. Thanks

    I pinned this to try later. Gouda is one of my all time favorite cheeses. This sounds good. I’m not sure if I would add onion, but, who knows?

    I love apples and Gouda together. I have for along time. This is going to be an amazing addition to my recipe collection. I just need to run out and get an onion and some tortillas!

    These are so good. I’m trying to think of a dipping sauce to use. A dab of sour cream is good.But, I think maybe some sort of tomato based sauce would be good.
