These mouthwatering Cheesecake Stuffed Apples combine the tartness of fresh apples with a smooth and creamy filling. Top with toasted pecans and caramel sauce for the ultimate snack or dessert!
Make the Topping: Place two apples on a work surface (reserving the two other apples). Cut it into halves and remove the cores. Then chop them into a 1/2-inch dice.
To a small saucepan or skillet, add the chopped apples, lemon juice, water and cinnamon. Place over medium heat and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat to cool.
Make the Filling: Place the softened cream cheese and sugar in a bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon or hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Then fold in the whipped cream or topping. Set aside.
Assembly: Cut the remaining 2 apples in half and scoop out the cores with a spoon. Rub with lemon juices to prevent browning. Put the halved apples on serving plates. Spoon cheesecake into each followed by apple topping. Sprinkle optional pecan pieces and drizzle caramel sauce on top. Serve immediately.
