Oh and tomorrow is Pi Day. Not National Pie Day, but Pi Day as in the mathematical term representing the number 3.14..., symbolized by the Greek letter π (Pi). This post may be a bit of a cliché but c'mon it's Pi Day! You have to geek out with me just a little.

So, why am I bringing this up? Many bakers pay homage to Pi on Pi Day by baking a pie! In this case, I'm cheating a little and making apple pie cheesecake jars.

Ingredients for Apple Pie Cheesecake Jars

This recipe keeps things simple with a short ingredient list:

• Graham cracker crumbs: create the crunchy base layer.
• Butter: binds the crumbs together for a crust-like texture.
• Apples: diced small for quick cooking; Honeycrisp or Granny Smith are great options.
• Sugar:  sweetens both the apples and the cheesecake filling.
• Warm spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom give that apple pie flavor.
• Lemon juice: adds brightness and keeps the apples from tasting too sweet.
• Whipped topping: lightens the cheesecake filling for a mousse-like texture.
• Cream cheese: the creamy base of every cheesecake.
• Vanilla extract: balances the tang of the cream cheese.
• Caramel sauce (optional) - drizzle on top for extra indulgence.

How To Make No Bake Apple Cheesecake Jars

Making apple pie cheesecake jars is all about layering. Each component comes together quickly:

Start with the apples. In a skillet, cook diced apples with butter, sugar, lemon juice, and spice until tender and fragrant. This makes a quick homemade apple pie filling that's delicious on it's own. 

Next, stir together graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. This will be your crust layer at the bottom of each jar. 

For the cheesecake filling, beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped topping to keep it light and airy. 

I made the pies in small 4 oz. jelly jars but you can also assemble the apple pie cheesecakes in a wine glass or anything else you think would look pretty. In your jars, or alternative container, layer graham cracker crumbs, cheesecake filling, and spiced apples. Repeat as needed, then top with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. 

That's it. No baking, no water baths, no pie crust required. 

Serving Ideas

These individual cheesecake jars are versatile and work for almost any occasion:

• A no-fuss Thanksgiving dessert that can be made ahead.
• A pretty option for fall dinner parties or potlucks.
• A weeknight treat you can prep on Sunday and enjoy throughout the week.

Did you notice that I did not use a fancy piping tip for the whip cream or caramel in the photo below? That's so I can close them up and store them in the fridge. Let's also be practical, only pipe up fancy if you have time on this one!

Storage

These jars keep beautifully in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you're using containers without lids, just cover them with plastic wrap. The graham cracker crumbs will soften slightly over time, making the dessert more pie like. 

These apple cheesecake jars are proof that dessert doesn't have to be complicated to be delicious. With layers of buttery crumbs, creamy no bake cheesecake filling, and spiced apples, they're everything you love about apple pie and cheesecake without the  extra work. 

Make a batch of these cheesecake jars once, and I guarantee they'll become a go to dessert in your kitchen. If you're craving more apple desserts, try my Mini Apples Pies or Salted Caramel Apple Pie Bars.
