Ingredients
Scale
- 6 gala apples
- 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Start by chopping the tops off the apples. Utilize a spoon or a melon baller to scoop out the insides, making sure to discard the core and seeds. Aim to hollow out enough space for the filling while leaving the walls of the apple intact.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with sugar and blend until smooth. Stir in the vanilla, egg, and cinnamon and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
- Fill each prepared apple about two-thirds full with the cheesecake mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed amongst the apples.
- Place the filled apples on a baking sheet, spaced so that they do not touch each other. Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheesecake filling is set.
- Once baked, transfer the apples to a plate and refrigerate them until completely cooled. This step ensures the filling sets properly and enhances the flavors.
