Ingredients

- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup diced apples
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Gather 1 cup of crushed graham crackers, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (melted), 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 cup of diced apples, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, 1/4 cup of sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of four serving cups or a small baking dish to form the crust. Make sure to pack it tightly for a sturdy base.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Continue to mix until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- In a small bowl, combine the diced apples with the cinnamon. Stir well to ensure the apples are evenly coated.
- Gently fold the cinnamon-coated apples into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
- Evenly spoon the cream cheese and apple mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust in each serving cup.
- Once filled, refrigerate the no-bake apple cheesecakes for at least 10 minutes to allow them to set slightly.
- Before serving, you can garnish the cheesecakes with additional diced apples or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious no-bake apple cheesecakes as a refreshing and easy dessert!
Tips
- Chill for Best Results: Allow the cheesecakes to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for a firmer texture. This will enhance the flavors and make them easier to serve.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with toppings! Consider adding caramel sauce, whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of nuts for extra crunch.
- Use Fresh Apples: Opt for crisp, sweet apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji to elevate the flavor of your cheesecakes. Freshness makes a significant difference!
- Make Ahead: These cheesecakes can be made a day in advance. Just cover them well in the fridge, and they’ll be ready when you are!
- Experiment with Flavors: Try adding a splash of lemon juice to the apple mixture for a zesty twist, or swap out the cinnamon for nutmeg for a different flavor profile.
- Portion Control: If you’re serving a crowd, consider using small mason jars for individual servings. They’re cute, portable, and perfect for parties!
