Info and tips for cheesecake stuffed baked apples

Don’t let the look of this recipe deter you!! It is actually quite simple to make with minimal ingredients. To hollow out the apples nicely I like to use a small cookie scoop. Carefully use it to dig out the flesh of the apple, making sure not to get to close to the bottom or edges (you still want a little bit of fruit left inside). You can use the leftover apple fruit to put into the cheesecake filling, save it for applesauce or apple butter, turn it into apple crisp, or just eat it lol… lots of options.

I used honey crisp and granny smith apples for this recipe. They have a nice crisp tart flavour and hold up well in the oven. Avoid using apples like Red Delicious or Gala. These apples have very soft flesh that will not hold up well after baking.

Equipment

I use a Cookie Scoop to help hollow out the apples.

This is my Ceramic Baking Dish I use for pretty much everything. Cleans super easily and is nice and heavy.
