Apple Pie Quesadillas

Picture this: a dish that perfectly blends the rich history of Mexican cuisine with the comfort of a classic American dessert. That's what we're diving into today – the story of the quesadilla, a staple in Mexican cooking, and how it has evolved over time. We'll also explore a unique twist on this traditional dish, transforming it into a delightful apple pie quesadilla, using a handy kitchen gadget - the Duronic HP1BK Portable Electric Hot Plate Hob Cooktop.

A Brief History of Quesadillas:

Quesadillas began their culinary journey in colonial Mexico. Originally, they were simple corn tortillas filled with cheese (hence the name, derived from 'queso', meaning cheese in Spanish). However, as time went by, quesadillas evolved, embracing ingredients like chicken, beef, and a variety of vegetables, making them a versatile and beloved dish in Mexican cuisine.

Apple Pie Quesadillas - A Fusion Recipe:

Now, let's marry the traditional quesadilla with the classic American apple pie. This fusion recipe is easy to make using the Duronic HP1BK hotplate, an efficient and portable electric hot plate that's perfect for small kitchens or when you need an extra cooking surface.

Ingredients:

  • 2 flour tortillas
  • 2 apples, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon sugar
  • Caramel Sauce
  • Butter
  • Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
  • Cup of Water


Method:

Prep the Filling: In a pot, mix the thinly sliced apples with sweet cinnamon sugar, a cup of water and caramel sauce.

Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay out the tortillas. Spread the apple mixture evenly over half of each tortilla, then fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape.

Cook on the Duronic HP1BK: Preheat your Duronic hot plate to a medium setting. Once hot, add a bit of butter. Place the quesadillas on the hot plate and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Serve: Cut into wedges and serve hot. For an indulgent twist, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.


Tips for Using the Duronic HP1BK:

  • Preheat: Ensure the hot plate is preheated for even cooking.
  • Temperature Control: Adjust the temperature according to the thickness of your quesadillas.
  • Cleaning: Wait for the hot plate to cool down completely before cleaning.
