PIN Healthy cheesecake stuffed baked apples

These cheesecakes TOTALLY eliminate the need for utensils and dishes.

BECAUSE The bowl is edible. HELLO

And also pick-up-able. PUT THOSE FINGERS TO WORK.

No fork. No annoyingly-hard-to-clean spring form pan. Just you + creamy cheesecake + crunchy baked apples + COCONUT SUGAR STREUSEL. Kinda like the whole wheat pancakes with apple crisp topping!

You guys know I’m a cheesecake fiend. I love me some blueberry oatmeal with cheesecake swirl or a no bake keto cheesecake recipe for one. But baked INTO an apple? Might just be my most favorite way to cheesecake.

Now streusel. We didn’t even ADDRESS that part!

Not that streusel really needs an introduction to your face right? You’ve had vegan coffee cake before and you know that streusel is little flaky pieces of oatmeal, that are giving a big hug to sweet speckles of brown sugary goodness, and all of that gets cozy with a little butter. DELISH.

What are the best apples to use for baked apples? 

Apples are such a great fruit to use in ALL kinds of recipes because they’re just so versatile! Chop them up and toss them in a healthy broccoli apple salad with greek yogurt or bake up a pan of tasty chai apple bars- either way, they add a ton of sweet flavor, vibrant color, and great texture! For THESE stuffed baked apples I’m going to show you today, I recommend using any apples that are large and sweet, so go ahead and take your pick! I’d steer clear of any tart apples such as granny smith. 

Cheesecake Stuffed Apples Ingredients 

I’m a lover of ALL THINGS cheesecake. I simply can’t get enough of healthy cottage cheese cheesecake and stuffing cheesecake filling into fruit is another go-to to get my cheesecake fix. First, there were cheesecake stuffed strawberries, and now THESE apples and cream cheese! Here’s what you need to make them a reality:

• Low Fat Cream Cheese
• Plain Greek Non Fat Yogurt
• Granulated Sugar
• Egg White
• Pure Vanilla Extract
• Old Fashioned Oats
• Brown Sugar
• Cinnamon
• Butter
• Maple Syrup
• Apples

How to make Baked Apples

Prepare

Preheat your oven until it’s hot and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. 

Make the Filling:

Beat together the cream cheese, yogurt, and sugar until smooth in a large bowl. Add in the egg whites and vanilla and beat until well mixed. 

Make the Crumble:

In a small bowl, add the oatmeal, brown, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter and mix it up until it’s crumbly.

Prepare the Apples:

Halve all of the apples and cut a hole in the center of each apple slice. Rub some brown sugar and sprinkle some cinnamon inside of each one. Place the apples onto the baking sheet you prepared and evenly divide the cheesecake filling between them. Divide the crumble among the apples and sprinkle it on top of the cheesecake filling. 

Bake

Bake for 30 minutes or until the filling is just set. Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the apples with the maple syrup. Set your oven to high broil, and pop them back in the oven to broil for 2-3 minutes. Let cool a bit, then DEVOUR!
