Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Wash and core the apples, leaving the bottom intact to create a well for the filling.

In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon until smooth.

Fill each apple with the cheesecake mixture, pressing down gently to ensure it’s well-packed.

In a separate bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Top each stuffed apple with the graham cracker mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish and drizzle with lemon juice to enhance flavor and prevent browning.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the apples are tender and the cheesecake filling is set.

Let the apples cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent dessert.
