   Cover a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.

4. 4

   Brush about one tablespoon olive oil onto each large tortilla. Turn tortilla over.

5. 5

   Arrange about half the apple slices over the cheese, then top with half the sauerkraut, spreading it evenly.

   Sprinkle both tortillas with another 1/3 cup cheese.

8. 8

   Fold the tortilla over the filled half and press down gently.

9. 9

   Top with additional grated cheese, if desired.

    Bake the quesadillas for 10-12 minutes, until the top and bottom are slightly golden.
