Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Apple Topping
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples, diced
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Additional sugar (about 1 tbsp) for cooking apples
Other
- 8 taco shells
- 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat and Warm Taco Shells: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the taco shells on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for 5 minutes to make them crisp and ready for filling.
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Cook Spiced Apples: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced Granny Smith apples along with about 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the apples soften slightly and become aromatic.
- Assemble Tacos: Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into each warm taco shell, creating a base layer. Then top each with the warm, cinnamon-spiced apples, distributing them evenly for balanced flavor.
- Finish and Serve: Top each assembled taco with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm apples and creamy filling with the crisp shell.
Notes
- You can substitute Granny Smith apples with other tart apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Braeburn for a different flavor profile.
- For a lighter version, consider using reduced-fat cream cheese and low-fat whipped topping.
- Ensure the taco shells are warm and crisp for the best texture contrast with the creamy filling and soft apples.
- This dessert is best served immediately to prevent the shells from becoming soggy.
