Why You’ll Love These Cozy Cheesecake Stuffed Baked Apples

They make for a great crowd pleasing treat
You can store leftovers in the fridge to thicken the cheesecake filling even more. They taste great cold, or can easily be thrown in the air fryer for a few minutes to reheat

Key Ingredients

Cream Cheese- acts as the thick base for the cheesecake, and brings out that traditional cheesecake flavor
Plain Greek Yogurt – adds rich tanginess and a lighter, creamier texture while also increasing the protein
Light golden coconut sugar – adds sweetness without needing refined table sugar
Cashew butter – brings out a caramel taste, especially when combined with pure maple syrup
Pure Maple Syrup – adds to the creaminess and sweetness of the caramel

Slice the tops off of your apples
Use a knife to slice a circular line around the inside of the apple, then use a spoon to dig out the center
Making filling by whipping cream cheese until smooth, then adding remaining ingredients and whip until completely smooth
Optional, place in a piping bag to neatly get into the apples
Melt butter and add to processed graham crackers, then spread overtop apples
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes
Make caramel by whisking ingredients together until smooth and runny. If your cashew butter was on the thicker side feel free to add more melted coconut oil or syrup
Drizzle overtop apples and enjoy!
Once cooled enough to pick up the apples I found it best to bite into it just like I was eating a regular apple

I love how easy it to just whip all of the filling ingredients together, pipe into apples, and bake!

You’re gonna LOVE the cozy smells that come while you’re baking these, too!

Dairy free- feel free to use vegan cream cheese and a vegan greek style yogurt (like Kite Hill brand) to keep dairy free
Coconut Sugar – feel free to sub granular monkfruit sweetner, or organic cane sugar
Cashew butter – sub sun butter, peanut butter, or vanilla oat butter, like oat haus brand
Pure maple syrup – sub honey or sugar free syrup
Collagen – adds gooeyness to the caramel, but the caramel will taste great without it if you’d like to leave it out
