Ingredients
Scale
- 4 apples, washed and dried
- 4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (or ¼ tsp ground cinnamon)
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
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.
