These No-Bake Apple Cheesecake Jars are a delightful dessert featuring a crunchy graham cracker crust, smooth and creamy cheesecake filling, topped with sweet apple pie filling or sautéed cinnamon apples. Perfect for an easy, make-ahead treat that requires no oven time.

Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • â…“ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping:

  • 1 cup apple pie filling or sautĂ©ed cinnamon apples
  • Whipped cream and cinnamon for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Graham Cracker Crust: In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Divide this mixture evenly among 4 small jars or cups, pressing down gently to form an even crust layer.
  2. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Spoon or pipe this cheesecake filling evenly over the crust layer in each jar.
  3. Assemble the Jars: Top each cheesecake-filled jar with a generous spoonful of apple pie filling or sautéed cinnamon apples. Cover each jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the cheesecake to set.
  4. Serve: Before serving, optionally top each jar with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • You can use either Greek yogurt or sour cream in the cheesecake filling depending on your preference for tanginess and texture.
  • For sautĂ©ed cinnamon apples, cook diced apples with butter and cinnamon until tender and fragrant, then cool before topping.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
  • These jars make a great portable dessert for picnics or parties.
