Ingredients
- 6 apples
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup plain full fat greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup light golden coconut sugar *
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Crumble
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs I like Simple Mills Sweet Thins
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Caramel
- 1/3 cup cashew butter
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 heaping tbsp collagen peptides *
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- 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

Notes
Collagen adds gooeyness to the caramel, but can be omitted without affecting the taste
Light golden coconut sugar is a 1:1 sub to raw cane sugar. Make sure not to use the one that is a sub for brown sugar. Or, use raw cane sugar
