Cheesecake Baked Apples

The days are a little shorter, the nights are a little colder, and all we want is to be all warm and cozy. One bite of these ooey gooey cheesecake baked apples will take you there.

Here’s what you need:

4 apples

1 oz Ginger SweetShine

4 Tbsp. melted butter

2 Tbsp. brown sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

2 blocks cream cheese, softened

1/2 c. powdered sugar

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

pecans

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Gala apples have a mildly sweet flavor that makes them perfect for baking, but use whichever variety you prefer.

Cut off the tops.

And scoop out the insides.

In a mixing bowl combine butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

Stir to dissolve sugar.

Add Ginger SweetShine and stir again.

Place apples in a baking dish and cover with sugar mixture. Bake 20 minutes.

While you wait, combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth.

Remove apples from the oven and fill with cream cheese mixture.

Top with pecans.

Bake another 10 minutes.
