This dessert has all the goodness of apple pie, without all the effort. Plus, it comes with a drizzle of goat’s milk cream cheese.
Ingredients
Apple:
- 1 gala apple
- 1/4 cup water
Filling:
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cream Cheese Drizzle:
- 2 tablespoons Happy Days Goat Cream Cheese Spread
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Touch water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F and fill a small, 2 cup casserole dish with the ¼ cup of water. Set aside.
Core the apple using a melon baller or sharp knife, being sure to leave the bottom of the apple
in tact so that it will hold the filling without leaking all over the place!
Mix the filling ingredients together in a small bowl. Using a small spoon, scoop the filling into the apple.
Place the stuffed apple in the prepared casserole dish. Cover with a glass cover.
Bake for about 45-50 minutes, removing the cover after 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix cream cheese drizzle ingredients in a small bowl. Once apple
is cooked through, and tender, remove from the oven, place on a plate and
drizzle with cream cheese mixture.
Serve immediately.
