Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium-sized apples (preferably Granny Smith)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pre-made mini phyllo pastry cups or cookie dough for the crust
- Optional: caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If using phyllo pastry cups, place them on a baking sheet. If using cookie dough, roll out and cut into small circles to fit into muffin tins.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Core and chop the apples into small pieces. Add them to the cream cheese mixture and stir gently.
- Fill each pastry cup or cookie dough shell with the apple cheesecake filling.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and set.
- Allow to cool slightly, then drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese. For gluten-free, use gluten-free cookie dough or serve the filling on its own, topped with apple slices. Consider adding chopped nuts or dried cranberries for extra texture.
