How long do you bake the apples?

I like to bake them for about 30 minutes, but you could do a shorter or longer time, depending on the heat of your oven or how firm you like your apples.

Are baked apples recipes healthy?

Absolutely! There’s only a little bit of natural sweetener and cream cheese. This recipe is mostly whole fruit! We aren’t using coconut sugar or brown sugar in this recipe.

Which apples are best to bake with?

For a dessert baked apple recipe like this one, I like sweeter apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Jonagold. You can also choose tart apples like Granny Smith. When you bake with apples, it brings out the natural sweetness, so whichever apples you use will be fine.

Ingredients

Scale

4 apples, washed and dried (720g)
4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature (113g)
½ tsp vanilla extract (2g) (or ¼ tsp ground cinnamon)
1 Tbsp maple syrup (20g) (or honey)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F.
Wash and dry your apples. Cut them in half through the center of the apple horizontally.
Use a small cookie scoop (I have this one) or a melon baller to scoop out just the very center of the apple where the seeds and core are.
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, vanilla (or cinnamon), and maple syrup (or honey) and mix them well.
Using the cookie scoop again, scoop about 1 Tbsp of the filling into the center of each apple, where you had just scooped out the seeds and core.
Place the apples, cream cheese side up, in a 9”x9” glass baking dish. Pour 2 Tbsp of water into the bottom of the dish.
Bake the apples for 30 minutes.
Allow to cool just slightly before serving.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. They’re tasty cold as well, or you can reheat them in the microwave or oven.
