Ingredients
- Cheesecake
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Pie Filling
- 3 medium apples, diced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
- Crust
- 1 ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- Whipped cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
Cheesecake
- Pour the whipping cream into a medium bowl, and mix with an electric mixer on medium high until the cream starts to thicken.
- Add confectioner’s sugar in several additions, and continue to mix until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, use your electric mixer to combine the softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract, until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the whipped cream and until well incorporated.
- Add the cream cheese to a piping bag or gallon sized plastic bag and place in the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour. *Do not cut the tip yet, you can cut it just before piping it into the jars.
Pie Filling
- Dice the apples, and place in a small saucepan. Add lemon juice, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, maple syrup, and water to the pot and stir together. Continue to stir occasionally, heat over medium heat until soft, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. You may place the apples in the fridge to cool, if desired.
Pie Crust
- Use a food processor, or other desired method, to crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and butter. Place about 2 tablespoons of crumbs into the bottom of each jar. Do not press down. You can shake the jar or use a spoon to move crumbs around if needed.
Whipped Cream
1. Add whipping cream to a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer and beat until the cream starts to thicken. Slowly add the confectioner’s sugar, maple syrup and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Assembly
- Cut a hole in the tip of the cheesecake bag. Pipe a layer of cheesecake on top of the graham cracker crumbs.
- Drop about 2 tablespoons of pie filling on top of the cheesecake filling, using a spoon to help level it out a bit.
- Add whipping cream on top of the pie filling, and top it off with any remaining cracker crumbles or sprinkle with cinnamon.
