Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 120 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 15 grams Butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Rinse the apples thoroughly and pat them dry. Using a paring knife or apple corer, carefully core each apple to remove the seeds and create a hollow center, leaving about 1 cm of the apple bottom intact.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
If using, gently fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts into the cream cheese mixture.
Stuff each hollowed-out apple with the cream cheese filling, packing it in tightly but not overfilling.
Place the stuffed apples into the prepared baking dish. Divide the butter into small pieces and place a small pat on top of each filled apple.
Bake the apples in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork but still hold their shape.
Remove the apples from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. If desired, drizzle with honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Serve the Cinnamon Cream Cheese Apples warm as a delightful dessert or a comforting snack. Enjoy!
