This combination may seem unusual—until you try it. The sweet-tartness of the apple, creaminess of the cheese and bite of the sauerkraut work together beautifully in this easy hot sandwich. Serve with oven-roasted potatoes or a green salad.

Ingredients

1 cup sauerkraut rinsed
½ cup water
2 medium tortilla (s), (flour (9-10 inch, burrito-size))
1 ⅓ cups cheddar cheese, (reduced-fat grated)
1 small apple, Granny Smith (or other tart, juicy apple), (peeled and very thinly sliced)

Instructions

Keep screen awake

1
Put sauerkraut and water in a medium nonreactive skillet. Gently heat just until the liquid has evaporated but not so much that the sauerkraut begins to stick to the pan. Remove from the heat.
2
Gradually heat a large cast-iron over medium heat. Put one tortilla in the pan and immediately sprinkle 1/3 cup cheese over half of it. Quickly arrange about half the apple slices over the cheese, then top with half the sauerkraut, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle with another 1/3 cup cheese.
3
Fold the tortilla over the filled half and press gently on it with a spatula to seal. Heat the quesadilla until the bottom is golden, about , then carefully flip and lightly brown the other side.
4
Slide the quesadilla onto a cutting board and cut it into halves or quarters. Prepare the second one in the same fashion.

A whole lot of filling for the size of tortilla recommended. Either fold over with a larger tortilla or spread out filling and cover with a second tortilla. Good flavor though.
