Description
A delightful twist on apple pie and cheesecake, these individual trifles combine creamy cheesecake and spiced apples for a perfect dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 graham crackers, crushed
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Caramel sauce (optional)
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, pulse graham crackers and cinnamon until coarse. Mix in melted butter and stir. Spoon a layer into each serving glass, pressing lightly to compact.
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Pipe or spoon a thick layer over the graham cracker crust in each glass. Chill for about an hour until set.
- In a skillet, melt butter over high heat, then add diced apples. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until tender. Remove from heat, then stir in flour, cinnamon, allspice, and sugar until well combined. Let cool slightly to thicken into a glaze.
- Spoon the apple mixture over the cream cheese layer in each glass. Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
Store leftover trifles in the refrigerator for up to three days. Avoid adding caramel sauce until ready to serve to prevent a soggy crust.
