Place tortillas flat on a work surface. Fold each tortilla in half, press down to make a crease, open tortillas. Sprinkle cheese over half of each tortilla; top cheese with chicken and apple slices. Sprinkle with thyme. Fold tortillas in half. Press down on each.
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray, heat skillet over medium heat. Place 2 quesadillas in the pan, and top quesadillas with a cast-iron or other heavy skillet. Cook 1 1/2-2 minutes on each side or until tortillas are crisp and lightly browned (leave cast-iron skillet on quesadillas as they cook). Remove quesadillas from pan; set aside, and keep warm. Repeat procedure with the remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into wedges.
