Apple & Brie Quesadillas are one of those fall appetizers that feel a little unexpected but still totally familiar. The creamy brie melts beautifully into the warm tortillas, while the thinly sliced apples add just enough crunch and sweetness to balance it out. It’s like a fancy grilled cheese but way easier to serve to a crowd.

This is one of my go-to fall brie recipes because it checks so many boxes — it’s fast, uses just a few ingredients, and looks way more impressive than it actually is. I’ll make a big batch and cut them into wedges for a warm starter that always disappears fast.

Whether you’re looking for apple brie appetizers, fall apple appetizers, or just something new to add to your lineup of Thanksgiving appetizers with brie, these hit the mark. It’s also a great twist on classic quesadilla recipes if you’re trying to mix things up a bit this season.

Directions

• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of butter or oil.

• Add half the apple slices in a single layer, then top with another 1/4 of the brie.
• Place a second tortilla on top and press down gently.
• Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
