Cheesecake Stuffed Baked Apples
Description
This recipe starts by preparing gala apples with their cores and seeds removed, leaving a cavity to hold the cheesecake filling. The filling blends softened cream cheese with sugar, vanilla, egg, and cinnamon for a balanced sweet and spiced flavor. Apples are baked individually on a sheet to set the filling while allowing the fruit to soften but hold shape.
The resulting dessert pairs the natural sweetness and acidity of baked apples with the creamy richness of cheesecake filling. Serving the apples chilled or at room temperature allows flexibility for texture preferences. Toppings such as caramel sauce, crushed graham crackers, and pecans add crunchy and sweet accents to the dessert.
The baking time ensures the filling sets without overcooking the apples. Cooling in the refrigerator helps firm the cheesecake layer further before serving.
Ingredients
- 6 apple I used gala apples
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Chop the tops of the apples off and scoop out the insides. Discard the core and seeds.
- In a medium bowl cream together cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in vanilla, egg, and cinnamon until smooth. Fill each of the apples 2/3 full with the cheesecake mixture.
- Place filled apples on a baking sheet (make sure they aren't touching) and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until cheesecake filling is set. Transfer to a plate and place in the fridge until completely cooled.
- Serve apples at room temperature or chilled. If desired, top with caramel sauce, graham cracker crumbs, and pecans.
Notes
- Prep time excludes 1-3 hours of cooling to fully set the cheesecake filling.
- Optional toppings include caramel sauce, graham cracker crumbs, and pecans for added texture and flavor.
