Main Ingredients

4 medium medium apples Consider Honeycrisp or Fuji for sweetness, or Granny Smith for tartness.
8 oz cream cheese, softened Low-fat cream cheese can be used as a lighter option.
1/2 cup granulated sugar Can be replaced with an alternative sweetener.
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup caramel sauce (optional) Drizzle on top for added sweetness.
Chopped nuts for topping (optional) Add a crunchy texture.

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash and core your apples, creating a cavity while leaving the bottom intact.
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Beat until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Gently fold in crushed graham crackers.
Stuff each apple with the cheesecake mixture, packing it down gently.

Baking

Place the filled apples into a baking dish, drizzle with caramel sauce if desired, and cover with aluminum foil.
Bake for 30 minutes, removing the foil for the last 10 minutes for a golden top.

Serving

Allow to cool for a few moments, then top with chopped nuts before serving with remaining caramel sauce.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or re-bake in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
