Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
• 120 grams Cream cheese (softened)
• 100 grams Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 50 grams Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish with butter and set aside.

Step 2

Wash the apples thoroughly and use a corer or a knife to remove the core from each apple. Be careful not to puncture the bottom; you want the apple to act as a small bowl.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, honey, and ground cinnamon until smooth and well combined. If using, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts.

Step 4

Spoon the cheese mixture into the hollowed apples, filling them generously. Smooth the tops with the back of your spoon.

Step 5

Place the stuffed apples in the prepared baking dish and add small pats of butter on top of each filling to enhance the richness.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples have softened but still hold their shape, and the filling is warm and slightly golden.

Step 7

Allow the apples to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally drizzling with a bit more honey for extra sweetness.
