Ingredients
  

For the Filling

  • 8 oz softened cream cheese Make sure it's at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar For sweetness
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract For flavor enhancement
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon For warmth and aroma
  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs To add texture
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts Optional for added crunch

For the Apples

  • 4 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) For the best flavor contrast
  • 2 tbsp melted butter For drizzling over the apples

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Core the apples, leaving the base intact to hold the filling.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Beat until smooth.
  • Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs and optional chopped nuts.

Assembly

  • Stuff each apple generously with the cream cheese mixture.
  • Arrange the stuffed apples in a baking dish and drizzle with melted butter.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove foil for the last 10 minutes to allow the tops to brown.

Serving

  • Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream.

Notes

Make sure to use fresh, firm apples to prevent mushiness. Overbaking can cause the apples to fall apart, so monitor closely.
