01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing an 8x8-inch baking dish with some cooking spray. In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, brown sugar, maple syrup, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and allspice until everything is well combined.

Step 2
Place the apples cut-side up in the baking dish, using pieces from the cores to prop them up if needed. Drop about 1 1/2 teaspoons of butter into each apple’s hollow, then spoon half of the cream cheese mixture into the center and spread it over the tops.

Step 3
Pop the apples in the oven and bake for around 35 minutes, until they start to soften. Then, sprinkle the granola over the tops, gently pressing it into the filling, and bake for about 10 minutes more until the apples are tender and the granola is nicely browned. Let them cool a bit before serving and enjoy!

How to serve
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It also pairs well with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to keep the crisp topping crunchy. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the topping soggy.
