Description
These Cheesecake Stuffed Apple Pies are a golden, flaky dream filled with cinnamon-spiced apples and creamy cheesecake. They’re indulgent, cozy, and absolutely perfect for holiday treats or an everyday sweet craving.
Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
2 medium Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla, and egg yolk until smooth. Chill the mixture slightly.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine diced apples, 2 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir until thickened and apples are tender. Let cool completely.
3. Roll out puff pastry slightly and cut into rectangles or circles. Spoon cheesecake mixture into the center of each cutout, followed by a spoonful of cooled apple mixture.
4. Top with another pastry piece, press edges to seal, and crimp with a fork.
5. Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden crust.
6. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden.
7. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese for smoother blending.
Cool both fillings before assembly to prevent soggy pastry.
For extra crispness, chill assembled pies before baking.
