Stuffed Baked Apples

This article was written with the assistance of AI.

Baked apples are a classic dessert that have been enjoyed for centuries, and for good reason. Baked stuffed cinnamon apples are warm, comforting, and bursting with sweet and spicy flavors. But when those baked apples are stuffed with a decadent mixture of creamy goodness, well, it takes them to a whole new level of deliciousness.

This recipe is lower in carbs than traditional baked apples and the filling is not on the sweet side. I have made this recipe with the peeling left on and without the peeling it is delicious both ways. If you like your baked apples more on the sweet side add ¼ cup brown sugar to the filling. So Yummy!!!

Ingredients:

· 4 small to medium apples peeled and cored.

· ¼ cup water

· ¼ cup brown sugar

· 1 tbsp butter

· 1 tsp cinnamon

Filling:

· 2 8oz. packages of softened Cream Cheese

· ¼ cup chopped pecans

· ¼ cup chopped figs (freeze the figs for a few minutes before chopping it makes it easier to chop)

· 1 tsp Lemon Juice

· 1/3 cup crushed Pineapples

Directions:

1. In a skillet combine the water, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. If your apples are bigger add a little more water, brown sugar, and butter.

2. Stand the apples up in the skillet and cook over low heat.

3. Spoon the liquid over the apples and cook until the syrup is thickened, and apples are done.

4. While the apple are cooking start the filling.

5. In a mixing bowl add the cream cheese, and lemon juice beat with a mixer until smooth.

6. Add pineapples and beat the mixture again until it is smooth.

7. Stir in the pecan and figs.

8. Let the apples cool slightly.

9. Use a spoon to stuff the apples with the filling.

10. Return the skillet back to the burner on low and heat the apples again for about 5-7 minutes. Just enough to warm the filling and not burn the syrup.

11. Put the apples on a small plate or bowl and spoon the syrup over the top.

Enjoy!!!
