Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 apples Gala apples work great, but you can use any variety you prefer
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Chop the tops off each apple and use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out the insides, discarding the core and seeds. Make sure to leave the apples intact for stuffing.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract, egg, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Stuff the Apples: Spoon the cheesecake mixture into each apple, filling them about 2/3 full. Be careful not to overfill to prevent spillage.
- Bake: Place the filled apples on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other to allow for even baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheesecake filling is set and the apples are tender.
- Cool and Serve: Transfer the baked apples to a plate and let them cool completely in the refrigerator. Serve the apples at room temperature or chilled. If desired, top with caramel sauce, graham cracker crumbs, and pecans for extra flavor and texture.
