Make these easy apple cheesecake bars without turning on your oven. This simple, chilled dessert uses a graham cracker crust and a creamy filling topped with spiced apple pie filling for a quick, comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Place the pan in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the cream cheese layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate, clean bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Assemble the bars: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust in the pan. Spoon the entire can of apple pie filling over the cream cheese layer. Gently spread the apple filling to cover the surface.
  5. Chill: Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is firm.
  6. Slice and serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cheesecake from the pan. Cut the chilled dessert into 16 squares or bars. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For cleaner slicing, run your knife under hot water and wipe it dry between each cut.
  • You can substitute the graham cracker crust with crushed vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies for a different flavor base.
  • If you prefer a slightly tangier filling, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture.
