Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
  2. Carefully slice the tops off the apples, creating a hollow center while leaving about ¼ inch thickness around the sides.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and granulated sugar, then beat until smooth. Blend in an egg, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  4. Spoon about ⅓ cup of the cheesecake mixture into each hollowed apple and lightly dust the tops with cinnamon.
  5. Place the filled apples upright in the baking dish and bake for 45-50 minutes until filling is set and apples are tender.
  6. Allow the apples to cool for about 45 minutes, then drizzle with warmed caramel sauce and sprinkle with toasted walnuts.
