How to Make Cheesecake Stuffed Baked Apples

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Core 4 medium apples (Honeycrisp or Gala recommended) leaving about 1/2 inch at the bottom.
In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces (113g) low-fat cream cheese (1/3 less fat than regular), 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg (optional – omit for lower fat). Beat until smooth and creamy.
Cut 1 cup (120g) cinnamon raisin bread (whole wheat variety preferred) into small cubes.
Gently fold the bread cubes into the cream cheese mixture.
Spoon the cheesecake mixture evenly into the cored apples.
Place the apples in a baking dish and add 1/4 cup (60ml) water to the bottom of the dish.
Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is set. Add a sprinkle of Brummel & Brown sugar substitute instead of butter to the tops of the apples halfway through.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or cold!
