For the Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

For the Apple Pie Filling:

  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

For the Caramel Drizzle:

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust:

  1. Combine Crust Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar until fully combined.
  2. Layer in Parfait Glasses: Spoon a small amount of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each glass or jar, pressing down gently to form a crust layer.
  3. Set Aside: Place the glasses in the fridge while you prepare the other layers.

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

  1. Beat the Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Powdered Sugar and Vanilla: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  4. Fold the Cream into the Cream Cheese Mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and well combined.

Prepare the Apple Pie Filling:

  1. Cook the Apples: In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  2. Add Sugar and Spices: Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the apples are coated in a syrupy mixture and softened.
  3. Cool: Remove from heat and allow the apple mixture to cool to room temperature.

Assemble the Parfaits:

  1. Layer the Ingredients: In each glass, add a layer of graham cracker crust, followed by a layer of cheesecake filling, and then a layer of the cooled apple pie filling.
  2. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, ending with a layer of cheesecake filling.
  3. Chill: Cover the parfaits and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to let the flavors meld together.

Serve and Garnish:

  1. Top with Caramel Sauce: Just before serving, drizzle the parfaits with caramel sauce.
  2. Garnish: Optionally, add whipped cream, cinnamon, or crushed nuts for extra texture and flavor.
