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.

Ingredients

1 apple
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons cream cheese
1 tablespoon dried cranberries

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.

ERIKA'S APPLE-STUFFED BAKED CHICKEN

Categories Chicken Bake

Yield 2 People

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts
1 medium size apple
1/2 of a medium size yellow onion
2 cloves fresh garlic (finely chopped)
1 slice of stale or baked multigrain bread diced (any type of bread will do)
1/4 cup of Italian Seasoning Breadcrumbs
A handful of sage and time finely chopped (preferably fresh)
1/4 cup of chicken broth (or water)
1/2 cup grated Manchego (or any other sharp cheese)
Pinch of salt and pepper to taste
Tablespoon of Olive Oil and butter
1/4 cup of white wine
1 baking sheet
Pinch of garlic and onion powder
A handful of toothpicks

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Heat up oil and butter in a pan on medium heat. Finely chop the garlic, onion, and apple and add to the pan. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and sautee ingredients until they cook down enough for the moisture to come out. Finely chop the fresh sage and parsley and add. Chop up the slice of bread into small cubes and add to the mixture along with the breadcrumbs. Add the chicken broth to bind the ingredients. Then add the freshly grated cheese. Lastly, add the wine and allow for this to simmer for at least a minute. The end result will be a wet mixture - you should be able to bind it with your hand. Put this mixture into a bowl and set aside. Slice the chicken breast in half like a hot dog bun, making sure not to cut all the way through to other side. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder. Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, stuff it into the chicken breast and seal it with the toothpicks. Dust the chicken with a little flour and breadcrumbs and sear both sides until browned. Remove from heat and place the chicken onto an oiled baking sheet and bake it for about 10 minutes on each side or until browned. Keep the heat on the pan and add a splash of white wine and chicken broth to deglaze. This will create the gravy to go on top of the chicken. After the chicken has cooked for ten minutes, remove from the sheet and place it on a large piece of tinfoil on top of the baking sheet and seal the foil to contain more heat. Bake for another fifteen minutes or until the stuffing is steaming hot. Remove from heat and serve on a plate along with any vegetable or side-dish. Pour the gravy over the chicken and enjoy.

Tips:

Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that hold their shape well when baked, such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Honeycrisp.
Core the apples carefully: Use an apple corer to remove the core, being careful not to cut through the bottom of the apple.
Stuff the apples generously: Fill the apples with your favorite stuffing, such as a mixture of oats, nuts, dried fruits, and spices.
Bake the apples until they are tender: Bake the apples at 350°F for 30-40 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Serve the apples warm or cold: Stuffed apples can be served warm, with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream, or cold, as a refreshing snack or dessert.

Conclusion:

Baked stuffed apples are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a variety of stuffing options to choose from, you can create a unique and satisfying dessert that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give baked stuffed apples a try.
