Description
Delightful No Bake Apple Cheesecake Jars filled with creamy cheesecake and spiced apples on a buttery graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 medium fresh apples, diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- Optional: caramel for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Begin by crushing your graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix them in a bowl with melted butter and a bit of sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand. Divide the mixture among small jars or glasses and press down firmly to form an even layer.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until you achieve a velvety texture.
- Cook the Apples: In a skillet, melt a bit of butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, followed by cinnamon and nutmeg. Sauté until they are tender but still hold their shape, about 5-7 minutes. Let them cool slightly.
- Layer It Up: Take your prepared jars and start layering! Spoon in a layer of cheesecake filling, followed by a layer of sautéed apples. Repeat until you reach the top of the jars, finishing with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs and a drizzle of caramel if desired.
- Chill: Refrigerate your jars for at least two hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve chilled and don’t forget to garnish with additional apple slices or whipped cream for that extra touch of indulgence.
Notes
Tips: Ensure your cream cheese is thoroughly softened for a smoother filling. Consider adding a pinch of lemon zest for a fresh note.
