Apple & Brie Quesadillas with Whole Wheat Tortillas

Whole Wheat Tortillas served up as Grilled Apple & Brie Quesadillas with an Apple Compote
Our next door neighbor over bought on some groceries and offered us some, so they wouldn't go to waste...so we had her over for dinner!  This is part of what MaMa made when she came over, as a large round of brie was one of the grocery items our neighbor had shared with us.  These Apple and Brie Quesadillas on Whole Wheat Tortillas were absolutely delicious!

      We found the recipe for the quesadillas and compote on FoodNetwork.com and thought it was a perfect way to use up the brie the neighbor had shared with us!
