Ingredients

  • For the crust layer:
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • For the cheesecake filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • For the apple topping:
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Prepare the apple topping:
    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Make the crust layer:
    In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar until evenly combined. Set aside.
  • Make the cheesecake filling:
    In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
  • Assemble the jars:
    Spoon a layer of graham cracker crust into the bottom of small jars or cups. Add a layer of cheesecake filling, then top with the cooled apple mixture. Repeat layers if desired.
  • Chill and serve:
    Refrigerate the jars for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • You can prepare the jars up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Use any type of apple you like, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith, for a sweet-tart balance.
  • Add a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce on top for extra indulgence.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers.
