Description
Cheesecake Stuffed Baked Apples are a decadent dessert, filled with creamy cheesecake and topped with buttery graham cracker crumbs for the ultimate sweet treat.
Ingredients
- 4 Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1/2 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tbsp Butter, melted
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Wash and core the apples, leaving the bottom intact to create a well for the filling.
3. In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon until smooth.
4. Fill each apple with the cheesecake mixture, pressing down gently to ensure it’s well-packed.
5. In a separate bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
6. Top each stuffed apple with the graham cracker mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
7. Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish and drizzle with lemon juice to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the apples are tender and the cheesecake filling is set.
9. Let the apples cool slightly before serving.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent dessert.
