A sprinkle of cinnamon brings a fragrant warmth, while a drizzle of maple syrup adds an optional touch of caramel-like sweetness. Ready in under an hour, this crowd-pleasing treat is ideal for holiday gatherings, special occasions, or just a cozy night in. Serve them warm and watch these Cheesecake Stuffed Baked Apples disappear in seconds!
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
Wash the apples thoroughly and slice off the tops. Use a spoon or corer to carefully remove the core and some of the flesh, creating a hollow center for the filling. Be careful not to puncture the bottom of the apples.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined.
Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture into the hollowed-out apples, filling them about three-quarters full.
Sprinkle the graham cracker crumb mixture on top of the cheesecake filling in each apple.
Place the stuffed apples into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle ground cinnamon over the tops.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
Remove from the oven and let the apples cool slightly before serving.
Drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cheesecake Stuffed Baked Apples!
