Description
A warm and creamy dessert made with baked apples filled with tangy cheesecake filling, topped with caramel and crunchy graham crumbs.
Ingredients
4 medium-sized apples
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup caramel sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
1. Wash, dry, and core the apples, leaving the bottoms intact.
2. Brush insides with lemon juice to prevent browning.
3. Beat cream cheese, sour cream, sugars, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Fill apples with mixture, top with graham crackers, nuts, and caramel.
5. Place in a baking dish with 1/4” water. Cover with foil.
6. Bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes until apples are tender.
7. Cool slightly, drizzle with more caramel, and serve.
Notes
Use Honeycrisp or Fuji apples for best structure and flavor.
Make ahead by prepping apples and filling separately.
Reheat leftovers in oven—not microwave—for best texture.
