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.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350ºF.
- Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly browned and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Working from the stem end, use a melon baller to remove the core from each apple, scooping out the stem and seeds and making a deep hole for the filling; work to within about 1/2 inch of the bottom of the apple. Peel the skin from the top half of each apple.
- In a small bowl, blend together the brown sugar, butter and cinnamon. Mix in the walnuts. Spoon equal amounts of the filling into the centers of the apples. Set the filled apples in an 8-inch square baking pan or other baking pan just large enough to hold them snugly.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the honey with the apple juice, stirring until the honey dissolves. Pour around the apples. Spoon some of the liquid over the sides of the apples to moisten them, but do not spoon over the tops.
- Bake, basting the sides once or twice with the pan juices, until the apples are tender when pierced, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool and serve in bowls with the pan juices spooned over the tops.

Steps:
- Combine the walnuts, cranberries, brown sugar, oats, butter, lemon juice, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and squeeze together until a wet and sandy mixture is formed.
- Scoop the core out of each apple with a melon baller, taking care not to scoop completely through to the bottom or the sides. Stuff each apple with some of the cranberry-walnut mixture. Place the apples in the slow cooker insert and pour in the apple cider. Cover and cook on low until the apples are tender but still slightly firm, 3 to 4 hours depending on the size and type of apple. (If your apples are on the smaller size, check after 2 hours; they may cook faster.)
- Serve each apple whole or cut in half in a bowl with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Squeeze lemon juice into a medium bowl filled with cold water. Using a sharp knife, remove stem from each apple. Using a melon baller, remove cores and hollow out apples until walls are about 3/4 inch thick. Place apples in water.
- Place walnuts on a baking pan; toast until fragrant and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Let the walnuts cool, and roughly chop.
- Place walnuts, cranberries, ginger, apricots, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl.
- Drain apples; spoon walnut filling into each cavity, packing fairly tightly. Place apples in a baking dish just large enough to hold them all. Add salt, being careful not to get any salt in the filling; fill until the salt covers the apples up to where the filling begins. Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil.
- Bake until apples are tender and start to pull away from salt, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly. Remove apples from salt; serve.
Tips:
- Choose firm, tart apples for baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- To easily core the apples, use an apple corer or a sharp knife to remove the core from the top of the apple, leaving the bottom intact.
- If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to spread the melted butter over the apples.
- Be careful not to overstuff the apples, as they will expand during baking.
- If you are using a toothpick to secure the apple halves together, make sure to remove it before serving.
- Serve the baked apples warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.

Baked stuffed apples are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give baked stuffed apples a try!
