Perfect for individual servings, these jars combine classic flavors in a no-cook recipe ideal for quick preparation and elegant presentation.

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
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 cup apple pie filling or sautéed cinnamon apples
  • Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
  • Cinnamon, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Graham Cracker Crust: In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand in texture. Divide the mixture evenly among 4 small jars or cups and press down gently to form a firm crust layer at the bottom.
  2. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add Greek yogurt (or sour cream), powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until the mixture is well combined and creamy. Be careful to achieve a smooth consistency without lumps.
  3. Assemble the Jars: Spoon or pipe the prepared cheesecake filling evenly over the graham cracker crust in each jar, smoothing the top gently with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  4. Add Apple Topping: Spoon a generous amount of apple pie filling or sautéed cinnamon apples over the cheesecake layer in each jar.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the cheesecake filling to set and flavors to meld.
  6. Optional Garnish: Before serving, top each jar with a dollop of whipped cream and a light sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and decoration.

Notes

  • You can substitute the graham cracker crumbs with digestive biscuits or any other sweet biscuit of choice.
  • For a tangier flavor, use sour cream instead of Greek yogurt in the cheesecake filling.
  • Sauté apples with a bit of cinnamon and a small amount of brown sugar to enhance the topping flavor.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • This dessert can be made a day in advance and refrigerated until ready to serve.
  • For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt.
