No-Bake Apple Cheesecake FAQs
Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.
You need to use it up within 4-5 days.
Make sure you refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 8 hours to ensure that it firms up properly. If after the chill time your dessert still isn’t set up, try freezing it for about an hour or two.
Recipe Tips
- This super creamy dessert is best served right out of the fridge.
- You can use homemade or store-bought apple pie filling for this recipe.
- Want a little more cinnamon flavor? Add some into the cheesecake filling!
- I like to form the crust along the sides of the pan and use a flat bottomed glass or measuring cup to help press down the crumbs.
How to make Apple Cheesecake
- Start by preparing the crust. You’ll need graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and butter. Mix them all together and pat them into a springform pan. Place the crust in the freezer while assembling the filling.
- Next, whip the cream cheese until it is smooth. Mix in the granulated sugar until well combined. Then, mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- Beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Then, gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Fold half of the apples into the cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust. Top with the remaining apples, pressing them into the cream cheese mixture slightly, and smooth out the top.
- Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Remove the outer rim of the springform pan before serving.
