Ingredients
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
2. Core each apple about three-quarters of the way down, leaving the bottom intact for the filling.
3. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
4. Spoon the cheesecake mixture into each cored apple, pressing down gently to fill completely.
5. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the filled centers and add optional toppings if desired.
6. Arrange apples upright in the baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes until apples are tender and filling is set.
7. Let apples cool for 10 minutes before serving warm or chill for a firmer texture.
8. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheat gently before serving.
