CHEESECAKE-STUFFED BAKED APPLES
This is one of those recipes that seem like they might have potential so you cut it out and save it. Finally get around to trying it and find it is now a regular feature in your meal planning. It is great because it can be easily adjusted to be low-fat. Leave out the egg (Won't notice its missing), use the whole wheat variety of cinnamon raisin bread (check the points and get the lowest), use 1/3 less fat cream cheese (not fat free), omit butter add Brummel and Brown. These are great left over. I even pack them for lunch, they are great cold! This is from Woman's World Magazine.

Steps:
- Mix the cream cheese and sugar together. Fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream and refrigerate until ready to use. Slice your apples in half and carefully scoop out the insides, leaving an edge of the pulp before the skin. Rub lemon juice on the pulp of your apple to keep it white. Remove seeds from the scooped out apple and chop up the rest. Cook the chopped apple in a small stock pot over medium high heat with a little water. Once the apples start to soften, stir in your cinnamon and cook until you reach the consistency of apple pie filling. Fill your apple "cups" with the cheesecake filling so that it is level. Top with small spoonful of cooked apple, a sprinkle of chopped pecans and a drizzle of caramel sauce. Enjoy!
