Step 1

Chop the tops of the apples off and scoop out the insides. Discard the core and seeds.

Step 2

In a medium bowl cream together cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in vanilla, egg, and cinnamon until smooth. Fill each of the apples 2/3 full with the cheesecake mixture.

Step 3

Place filled apples on a baking sheet (make sure they aren't touching) and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until cheesecake filling is set. Transfer to a plate and place in the fridge until completely cooled.

Step 4

Serve apples at room temperature or chilled. If desired, top with caramel sauce, graham cracker crumbs, and pecans.
