BAKED STUFFED APPLE
An apple is filled with a cinnamon cheesecake center. I used a Braeburn apple but any variety will work. Great for a cold night! Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Cut the stem out of the apple and hollow out the center until it is about 1 1/2 inches wide without going through the bottom. In a small cup, stir together the cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar. Set aside half of this mixture, and mix the rest with the cream cheese and dried cranberries.
- Sprinkle some of the reserved cinnamon sugar into the apple's cavity. Fill with the cream cheese mixture, and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on the top. Place the apple in a small baking dish.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the apple is tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.

APPLE STUFFING

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: For baking, use firm, tart apples that hold their shape well, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. For applesauce, use softer, sweeter apples, such as McIntosh, Red Delicious, or Fuji.
- Peel and core the apples: Use a sharp knife to peel and core the apples. You can also use an apple peeler/corer to make the job easier.
- Slice the apples evenly: If you are slicing the apples, make sure to slice them evenly so that they cook evenly.
- Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice will help to prevent the apples from turning brown.
- Don't overcook the apples: Applesauce should be cooked until the apples are soft but still hold their shape. Baked apples should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy.
- Serve applesauce warm or cold: Applesauce can be served warm or cold. It can be eaten on its own, or it can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or yogurt.
- Serve baked apples with your favorite toppings: Baked apples can be served with a variety of toppings, such as cinnamon sugar, brown sugar, butter, or ice cream.
Conclusion:
Apples are a versatile fruit that can be used in a variety of recipes. Whether you are making applesauce, baked apples, or apple pie, there are a few tips that you can follow to ensure that your dish turns out perfectly. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can create delicious apple dishes that your family and friends will love.
