For a richer flavor, consider adding a drizzle of maple syrup or honey before baking. Experiment with different spices such as cardamom or ginger for a unique twist. Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans can be added to the cream cheese filling for extra crunch. To prevent the apple from browning too quickly, you can tent it with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
