Description

This No-Bake Apple Pie Cheesecake combines the creamy richness of classic cheesecake with a delicious apple pie topping. Featuring a crisp graham cracker crust, smooth cream cheese filling, and a warm spiced apple mixture, this dessert is perfect for those looking for an easy yet impressive treat without the need for baking.

Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

For the Apple Pie Topping

  • 3 large apples, peeled and diced (such as Granny Smith)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the cheesecake filling.
  2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to deflate the airiness. Pour this filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly.
  3. Make the Apple Pie Topping: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice to the skillet. Cook the mixture for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples become tender and the sugar dissolves. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water to form a slurry, then pour it into the apple mixture. Continue to cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the topping thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before using.
  4. Assemble the Cheesecake: After the cheesecake has fully set, gently spoon the cooled apple pie topping evenly over the surface. Slice the cheesecake into 10 servings and serve chilled for a delightful combination of creamy and fruity flavors.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith apples for a tart contrast or substitute with honeycrisp for a sweeter topping.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth blending.
  • Allow the apple topping to cool completely before adding to prevent melting the cheesecake filling.
  • For a firmer crust, chill it for at least 30 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
