Sweet apples are filled with a rich, cinnamon-kissed cheesecake mixture and baked until tender and irresistible.

  • Total Time: 50-55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 stuffed apples 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 large baking apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala recommended)

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for sprinkling)

  • Optional toppings: caramel sauce, crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts, whipped cream

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Carefully core each apple, hollowing out the center without puncturing the bottom.

  3. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and egg until smooth and fluffy.

  4. Spoon the cheesecake filling into the hollowed apples, dividing evenly.

  5. Sprinkle the tops with brown sugar for a caramelized finish.

  6. Place the stuffed apples into a baking dish, adding 1/4 cup of water to the bottom to keep them moist. Cover with foil.

  7. Bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the apples are tender and the tops are golden.

  8. Serve warm with your favorite toppings!

Notes

 

  • For the best texture, use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji!

  • Make ahead by stuffing the apples, then refrigerate until ready to bake.

  • Customize your toppings: caramel, whipped cream, or even a dusting of crushed pecans are all dreamy choices.

  • Add a little nutmeg or pumpkin spice to the filling for a fun seasonal twist!
