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 topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust: In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Evenly divide the mixture among 4 small jars or cups and press down gently to create a compact crust layer.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the Greek yogurt or sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until the mixture is well combined and fluffy. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the crust layer in each jar evenly.
  3. Assemble the Jars: Spoon a generous amount of apple pie filling or sautéed cinnamon apples over the cheesecake layer in each jar. Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
  4. Serve: Just before serving, top the jars with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired, adding an extra touch of sweetness and spice to the dessert.

Notes

  • For a tangier filling, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
  • Sauté fresh apples with cinnamon and a bit of brown sugar for a homemade topping alternative.
  • These jars can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before serving.
  • Use mini jars or cups for an attractive presentation suitable for parties or individual servings.
