Ingredients

  • 4 medium Granny Smith Apples
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Crushed Graham Crackers
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Walnuts or Pecans (optional)
  • Whipped Cream or Vanilla Ice Cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Core the apples carefully, leaving the bottom intact to create a hollow center. Place apples upright in a baking dish.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  4. Stir in crushed graham crackers and melted butter until fully mixed. Fold in chopped nuts if using.
  5. Spoon the cheesecake mixture into each apple, pressing gently to fill completely.
  6. Pour a small amount of water into the bottom of the baking dish to help steam the apples.
  7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the apples are tender and lightly golden on top.
  9. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

  • Use Honeycrisp or Fuji apples for a sweeter variation.
  • Add a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of nutmeg for a festive touch.
  • Use reduced-fat cream cheese or maple syrup to lighten the recipe.
  • Top with extra graham crumbs or nuts for a crunchy finish.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
