Ingredients

Scale

Apples

  • 4 Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup Sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon

Topping

  • 1/2 cup Graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp Butter, melted
  • Pinch of Cinnamon (for topping)

Additional

  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature by the time you finish preparing the apples.
  2. Prepare Apples: Wash and core the apples carefully, keeping the bottom intact so they form a well for the cheesecake filling.
  3. Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Fill Apples: Spoon the cheesecake mixture into each cored apple, pressing gently to fill them completely and evenly.
  5. Prepare Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and a sprinkle of cinnamon to create the crumb topping.
  6. Top Apples: Sprinkle and press the graham cracker mixture over the filled apples to form a crumbly topping that adheres well.
  7. Prepare Baking Dish: Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish and drizzle them with lemon juice. This enhances flavor and helps prevent the apples from browning.
  8. Bake: Bake the apples for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the cheesecake filling has set firm but remains creamy.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the apples from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the creamy filling at the perfect temperature.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to hold their shape well during baking.
  • Adjust sugar in the cheesecake filling to your taste or based on the sweetness of your apples.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • You can add chopped nuts to the topping for extra texture if desired.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
