  2. Add the egg and mix well. Then stir in the graham cracker crumbs and ground cinnamon until everything is combined.
Stuffing and Baking

Notes

Serve the baked apples warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave until warm.
