    i had a hard time getting the cream cheese into pieces… i think more than an hour in the freezer is needed. i’ll also chop my apples into smaller pieces next time. but oh so good!

    Very good!! I added a little more brown sugar and cream cheese and I put the batter in cupcake pans so they looked better and it made it perfect treat to grab on the go. Loved it!

    these were pretty good. i used granny smith apples. dont skimp on the amount of apples and use a little more cream cheese. I read someone else said they are not pretty to look at but they are good-that is true. they can be mushy.

    This was delish! Would add more cream cheese for contrast to the sweetness, but overall a great fall recipe.
