Fall Dessert: Pumpkin Cheesecake Stuffed Apples

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a unique and delicious fall dessert recipe that’s perfect for cozy nights in or gathering with loved ones. Inspired by the flavors of the season, these pumpkin cheesecake stuffed apples are a delightful twist on traditional apple desserts. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients:

• apples
• cream cheese
• canned pumpkin puree
• brown sugar
• cinnamon
• nutmeg
• cloves
• ginger
• vanilla extract
• graham crackers
• butter

Kitchen Tools:

• apple corer
• mixing bowl
• baking dish
• oven

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Core the apples using an apple corer, making sure to leave the bottom intact to create a well for the cheesecake filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Next, fill each cored apple with the pumpkin cheesecake mixture, packing it in tightly. In a separate bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with melted butter to create a crumbly topping. Sprinkle this mixture over the filled apples.

Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the cheesecake filling is set. The aroma of warm spices and apples will fill your kitchen, signaling that these treats are ready to be enjoyed.

Once out of the oven, allow the pumpkin cheesecake stuffed apples to cool slightly before serving. The gooey cheesecake center, paired with the sweet and tart apple, creates a harmonious balance of flavors that is truly irresistible. Each bite offers a comforting taste of fall in a unique and satisfying dessert.
