This is the story of how I worked a cheesecake into an apple, drizzled it with caramel and kept it at 150 calories, thanks to my new, sweet friend, Born Sweet® Zing™ Baking Blend!

I adore baked apples and it’s not a secret. I have already made 3 trips to the Apple Orchard just this month. I made an Apple Pie CAKE twice this week; I also worked on that Apple Bacon Salad, some caramel dipped apples, as well, and now THIS – Lighter Caramel-Cheesecake Stuffed Baked Apples. Hallelujah!Three skinny cheesecake stuffed apples on a plate topped with caramel sauce

I think you’re really going to like this, friends. One of my most happy memories year after year involves me stuffing my face with my mom’s baked apples that were stuffed with raisins, nuts and oats. Yes, truly amazing! Buuuut I’m thinking anything stuffed with cheesecake, including baked apples, kind of wins. Right? RIGHT.

EVEN better when all that goodness is lightened up and made with Zing™ Baking Blend.A can of Zing baking blend

    These apples look outstanding! Perfect comfort food, I would use Born Sweet Zing Baking blend on my “Muffin Fridays.'” I bring muffins to work every week – well, I did it twice and now I can’t show up without them. 😉 I wouldn’t tell anybody till after they have enjoyed them.

    Your recipe sounds very yummy and I am not familiar with Zing products but will look for it during my next shop.
    Fall commences baking season in my home…
    Caramel apples, fudge, cakes, breads, cookies and pies..can’t wait to fill our home with the smells of cinnamon, pumpkin, caramel, nutmeg, and caramel.
    Thanks.

    These look so amazing that I would eat them even if they weren’t so low in calories! I’ve never seen Zing before, but I’ll definitely be looking into it!

    One of my favorite things to do in the fall is go apple picking, and I haven’t been this year! There is just nothing like fresh apples right off the tree! I need to try this…I am betting it would be a huge hit with my kids! Pinning!

    This sounds perfect! Besides using it to sweeten my coffee and tea, I bet it would be perfect in my cookies and cakes. Perfect timing, because holiday baking is just around the corner. Can’t wait to try this!

    My Dad has Diabetes and it runs in my family so I am always looking for healthier dessert recipes and I like the Born Sweet Zing Baking blend to make my Red Velvet Cupcakes and Cinnamon Apple Muffins.
