Warm, cozy, and perfect for fall or holiday gatherings

No crust or fancy equipment needed — just apples and a baking dish

Easy to make ahead and reheat

Naturally gluten-free with minor swaps

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Apples: Firm varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp hold up best when baked.

Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese adds a rich and velvety cheesecake texture.

Sugar + Vanilla: Classic cheesecake flavor essentials.

Cinnamon: Adds warm, spiced notes to both the filling and topping.

Lemon Juice: Prevents browning and adds brightness.

Graham Cracker Crumbs + Butter: Mimic a traditional cheesecake crust.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Use a melon baller or paring knife to hollow out the apples neatly.

Don’t cut through the bottom of the apple — leave a solid base to hold the filling.

Make sure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth mixture.

Pack in the cheesecake filling tightly to avoid gaps after baking.

Let apples cool slightly before serving so the filling can set.

How to Make Cheesecake-Stuffed Baked Apples

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready once you finish prepping the apples.

Step 2

Wash and core the apples, creating a deep well in each while leaving the bottom intact.

This will hold the creamy filling during baking.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and a dash of cinnamon until smooth and fluffy.

Step 4

Spoon the cheesecake mixture into each apple cavity, gently pressing down to pack it in.

Step 5

In another bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and a pinch of cinnamon.

Stir until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 6

Top each filled apple with the crumb mixture, lightly pressing it on to form a crust-like topping.

Step 7

Arrange the apples in a baking dish and drizzle lemon juice over the tops to keep them vibrant and add brightness.

Step 8

Bake until the apples are tender but still hold their shape, and the topping is golden.

The filling should be slightly puffed and set.

Step 9

Let the apples cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serve warm with optional ice cream or caramel drizzle for extra indulgence.

What to Serve It With

A scoop of vanilla bean ice cream

A drizzle of salted caramel sauce

A dollop of whipped cream

Hot apple cider or chai tea on the side

Variations / Substitutions

Make it gluten-free: Use gluten-free graham crackers.

Add nuts: Mix chopped pecans into the graham topping.

Spice it up: Add a dash of nutmeg or cloves to the filling.

Lower sugar: Swap in maple syrup or honey for refined sugar alternatives.

Storage & Leftovers

Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat: Warm in the microwave or oven until heated through.

Freeze: Not recommended — cream cheese texture may change.

FAQs

Can I use a different apple variety?
Yes! Try Fuji, Jonagold, or Pink Lady for a sweeter flavor.

Do I need to peel the apples?
No — leave the peel on to help the apples hold their shape.

Can I make this dairy-free?
You can try using dairy-free cream cheese and plant-based butter substitutes.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?
Yes. Fill and stuff the apples, then refrigerate until ready to bake.

How do I know when they’re done?
The apple should feel fork-tender, and the cheesecake center should be puffed and set.

Can I use flavored graham crackers?
Absolutely! Cinnamon or honey graham crackers work great.

Final Thoughts

These cheesecake-stuffed baked apples are pure comfort in every bite — sweet, creamy, spiced, and simple to make.

Whether it’s for a cozy night in or your next holiday gathering, this dessert is a showstopper with very little effort.

I love serving mine warm with a drizzle of caramel and a little whipped cream. Pure bliss!
