A batch of this Homemade Apple Pie Filling makes these little parfaits taste the best.
(post updated June 2018)
Sometimes I surprise myself with the things I make in our kitchen. These little parfaits were one of those treats that made me stop and smile.
The flavors in all the layers work so well together. The crunchy streusel, creamy cheesecake, and sweet apple pie filling in every bite was so good.
And of course you can't have a pie dessert without a pie crust, right? The topper is totally optional, but I think it adds a fun little touch to the apple dessert.
How to make Apple Pie Cheesecake Parfaits:
Start out by making the apple pie filling. Cut up your apples and simmer them in a sugar glaze. Let it cool for a few hours or overnight so it has time to set up.
Combine the streusel ingredients and press it into a pan. Bake for a few minutes to give a crispy texture.
Unroll the pie crust and spread butter on both sides. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Cut the pie crust into strips and twist each one. Bake until golden.
Mix together cream cheese, pudding, Cool Whip, and toffee bits to make the no bake cheesecake layer. Are you drooling yet? Because yes, it is THAT good. I caught my daughter digging into it with a spoon before I had a chance to make the parfaits. She didn't want any apples, just the filling!
Layer the pie filling and cheesecake into 8 small mason jars. Top with the pie crust twists right before serving.

Yum! I'm all about the no bake right now and these look amazing. My husband loves apple pie, so this would be an awesome twist for him!
Jocelyn
He would love these for sure. The recipe isn't completely no bake though...although, the crumble could be eaten without baking it, and you could leave off the pie crust toppers.
Carissa Nelson
Oh thanks for clarifying! I read too fast. I could always do those steps in the toaster oven to keep the heat factor down!
Debbie
