Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and dry the apples, then carefully remove the core while keeping the bottom intact. Drizzle lemon juice inside to prevent browning.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt; mix well.
  4. Incorporate sour cream until fully combined, then fold in crushed graham crackers.
  5. Fill each apple with the cheesecake mixture and place any leftover filling around them in a baking dish.
  6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes until tender. Remove foil in the last few minutes to allow tops to brown slightly.
  7. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving; drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.
