Cheesecake Stuffed Baked Apples

Soft baked apples filled with a creamy cheesecake mixture, topped with a buttery graham cracker crumble and baked until golden and set. A perfect fall dessert with a drizzle of caramel sauce.

  • Total Time: 3 hours 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large crisp apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
  • 1 block (250g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • Caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut off the tops of each apple and hollow out the middle with a small cookie scoop or melon baller, removing seeds and core.
  3. In a bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, egg, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth and lump-free.
  4. Mix graham cracker crumbs, rolled oats, and melted butter in a separate bowl to make the crumble topping.
  5. Place a spoonful of graham cracker crumble at the bottom of each hollowed apple.
  6. Pipe or spoon the cheesecake filling into each apple, filling to the top.
  7. Sprinkle remaining graham cracker crumble on top of the filled apples.
  8. Place apples in a greased baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, until apples are soft and cheesecake filling is set and golden.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly, then refrigerate for 2-3 hours to fully set.
  10. Serve chilled or at room temperature with a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Notes

For best results, use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith to hold their shape during baking. The cheesecake filling can be piped for a neat presentation. Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated or enjoyed cold.
