There’s something magical about the first crisp breeze of autumn—the kind that makes you crave warm, comforting flavors. Picture this: you’re curled up on the couch under a soft blanket, the scent of cinnamon and baked apples filling your kitchen. That’s the cozy scene I imagine every time I make these Pumpkin Pie Stuffed Baked Apples.

This recipe is the perfect marriage of two seasonal favorites—sweet, tender baked apples and creamy spiced pumpkin pie filling. It’s ideal for Thanksgiving dessert, a fall dinner party, or just a quiet weekend treat when you want to spoil yourself (and maybe a lucky friend or two). Inspired by the tradition of baking stuffed apples in my grandmother’s kitchen, I’ve given it a modern twist by using pumpkin pie filling for a richer, creamier, and irresistibly autumnal flavor.
