First Pinterest recipe

Hi all,  I know that when I started this blog I said that I would try to do one pinterest recipe every Sunday.  Well somehow I just forgot about that.  I don't really know why, but it just didn't happen until last night.
I did my first one.  What I made is from my pinterest board "spoonful of good eats." http://www.pinterest.com/pin/125045327129815691/

Here is a picture of what the recipe looked like.

Here are the steps to what I did. 

THIS PART WAS THE HARDEST PART.  Of course on the blog post this recipe comes from it doesn't tell you anything about how to do this or the best technique.  I just scooped very delicately and did my best.  It wasn't perfect and the apples I had didn't have the toughest skin.  Of course I didn't use the honey crisp apples that they use in the blog, I just used whatever apples I had on hand.  It also seemed like such a waste to cut up and discard all the leftover apple so I recommend throwing it into a blender and blend with some greens for a powerful green smoothie. 

This is a before picture.  I placed them in these individual aluminum ramekins/muffin tin things.  It just seemed like a safer idea since the bottom of the apples weren't smooth.  I didn't want them moving about and it worked just fine.  I had just enough filling for three apples. 

This was the end result.  Of course mine didn't come out as beautifully as the ones on the original recipe blog but of course I'm not an expert in food photography, placement and photoshop.  I did allow my husband to eat one and I sprinkled homemade granola and honey on the top and he loved it.  He really really like it.  I had a small taste and it was really good.  My husband said the soft apple afterwards was a nice touch.  
I did modify the recipe a little.  I really don't like using a lot of sugar so I cut that in half and use less fat cream cheese.  Tasted great.  RECOMMENDED and very easy.
