How to Make Cinnamon Cream Cheese Apples
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel, core, and halve 4 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji).
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Add the apple halves to the saucepan, cut-side down. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until apples are tender but not falling apart, flipping halfway through.
- While apples simmer, prepare the cream cheese filling: In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 2 tablespoons milk, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 cup chopped dates, 1/4 cup chopped pineapple, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Remove apples from the saucepan and let cool slightly. Drain excess syrup, reserving the syrup for drizzling later.
- Fill the center of each apple half with the cream cheese mixture.
- Arrange stuffed apples in a baking dish and drizzle with reserved syrup.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and filling is slightly warmed.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with extra syrup, if desired.
