This was pretty good. Different than my regular quesadillas with the addition of the apple. I also added some crumbled bacon to the mix and it was really tasty. I was a little skeptical about the apples with the corn and salsa and sour cream, but it worked well. When I make it again, I will definitely chop the apples to make the mixture more uniform so that the ingredients get more evenly distributed in the quesadilla. As for baking vs. frying, I didn't notice much of a difference flavorwise because I use cooking spray in the skillet anyway. I did notice that this takes me a lot longer to cook because of the baking time (twice as long as usual was still under 15 minutes, but when you're hungry it seems like forever). Next time I think I will just make it on the stove. Cilantro would probably be a nice addition.

We enjoyed the recipe. We had leftover filling and we used that the next day to make omelets. I took others advice and diced the apples and added a lot more cheese. I used a tortilla on bottom and one on top then cut them into 4 pieces. We had the chicken falling out from everywhere so from now on I will definitely use the folded tortilla method because it holds the filling in a lot better while you eat it.

WOW! To my complete surprise, my whole family loved these. They had no idea the apple was in it and loved it even more when they found out. It's a great way to hide a bunch of "good-for-you" things in melted cheese. I used shredded 2% Mexican cheese, finely chopped red onion (carmelized for a few minutes) and black beans along with the tomatoes and corn. Served with guac and chips, this was a filling meal. YUM!

This was a great dish. Really easy to make. Another easy dorm meal. I used a toaster oven to bake them and I think my only issues was that I could only make one at a time. I used a little more cheese than it called for and substituted half a red onion for the regular onion. It was wonderful. I will definatly make these again!

I followed the suggestion of someone else and chopped up the apples. It was so yummy! My husband really liked them and they were really easy to make. The combination was surprisingly delicious! I will definitely make this again! Its a keeper.

They came out a little messy instead of crispy, but oh-so-delicious! I added a little extra garlic and some cilantro. Also, next time I will try chopping the apples so there's more in every bite (instead of slicing).

I make this at least once every other week. My family loves it! I have made this for guests quite a few times and everyone wants seconds. Simple and tasty...I cook exactly as recipe reads.

Like other reviewers, I made this by spreading the filling on a large flour tortilla, then laying another on top. The only other changes I made were to up the cheese a bit, and add some fresh cilantro to the mix. I definitely recommend chopping up the apples so they blend in with everything. Not bad at all. Thanks, Stacia!

This was pretty good. All the guys in my house liked it. I did not bake them, just cooked them in the frying pan as I always do. Really did not see the need to put them in the oven and dirty another pan. Subbed green onions for white. Apples were a very good and interesting addition.
