  4. Spoon the cheesecake filling into each cored apple, pressing gently and leaving a small space at the top.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and a pinch of cinnamon until moistened.
  6. Sprinkle the graham cracker mixture over each apple and press down lightly.
  7. Drizzle lemon juice over the stuffed apples and bake for 25–30 minutes until tender but holding shape.
  8. Allow the apples to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving warm.
