Eight 6-inch whole wheat tortillas
Cooking spray or olive oil, for oiling tortillas
1 tablespoon spicy brown or Dijon mustard
1 cup shredded low-sodium Swiss (4 ounces)
4 ounces very thinly sliced low-sodium lean Black Forest or Virginia ham
1/2 small red onion, extra thinly sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons no-sugar-added apple butter, plus more for topping, optional
2 small apples, cut into thin sticks (red and green)
Lemon juice and ground cinnamon for tossing

1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
2
Spray 4 of the tortillas with cooking spray (or brush with olive oil).
3
Lay the oiled tortillas on a large cutting board oiled-side down.
4
Brush with the mustard and sprinkle with about half of the cheese.
5
Top each evenly with a thin layer of ham, onions and some pepper, and then finish with the remaining cheese.
6
Brush the apple butter evenly on the remaining tortillas.
7
Place one apple-butter tortilla on top of a ham-and-cheese tortilla (filling sides in), and firmly press the tortillas together to make a quesadilla.
8
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
9
Lay a quesadilla oiled-side down in the pan and cook until golden brown and the cheese starts to melt, about 2 minutes.
10
Spray the top of the quesadilla with cooking spray, turn and cook until the other side browns and the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes more.
11
Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
12
Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
13
Cut the quesadillas into 4 wedges and arrange on plates.
14
