Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium-sized apples Choose Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for their perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Provides sweetness to your filling mix.
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar Adds depth and richness to the flavor profile.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash the apples thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry. Carefully remove the core from each apple, leaving the bottom intact to create small cavities.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and granulated sugar using an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth and creamy—approximately 2-3 minutes.
  4. Incorporate brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, salt, and sour cream into the mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well combined before folding in crushed graham crackers and optional chopped nuts.
