Warm, spiced pumpkin filling baked in Fuji apples, topped with whipped cream and caramel for a festive autumn treat.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Apples

01 - 6 medium Fuji apples
02 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

→ Pumpkin Pie Filling

03 - 240 ml pure pumpkin purée
04 - 120 ml heavy cream
05 - 50 grams brown sugar
06 - 30 ml pure maple syrup
07 - 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
08 - ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
09 - 1 large egg

→ Homemade Whipped Cream

10 - 240 ml heavy cream, very cold
11 - 15 grams powdered sugar
12 - ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Garnish

13 - Crushed graham crackers
14 - Caramel sauce, for drizzling

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Wash and dry the Fuji apples. Slice off the top quarter near the stem, then carefully scoop out the core and some flesh, leaving a one-third inch thickness to form apple cups. Place apples in a baking dish and brush the interiors with lemon juice to prevent browning.
02 - Whisk together pumpkin purée, heavy cream, brown sugar, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and lump-free for even baking.
03 - Spoon the prepared filling into each hollowed apple, filling just below the rim. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes until the custard sets with a slight wobble and apples are fork-tender.
04 - While apples bake, whip the very cold heavy cream in a chilled bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed. When soft peaks form, add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue whipping to stiff peaks. Refrigerate until serving.
05 - Allow baked apples to cool for at least 10 minutes. Top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream, sprinkle with crushed graham crackers, and finish with a caramel sauce drizzle before serving.

# Handy Tips:

01 - Chill mixing bowls and beaters before whipping cream to prevent curdling.
02 - For stability, slice a thin layer off apple bottoms to keep upright during baking.
03 - Pumpkin pie filling can be refrigerated overnight to deepen spice flavors.
04 - Avoid overbaking to prevent grainy custard and mushy apple shells.
