Apple pie cheesecake parfaits have all the flavor of the classic fall pie layered with creamy cheesecake in single serve portions. This fall flavored dessert is easy to whip up at the last minute and perfect for parties and holiday dinners!

Fall has flung, well everywhere but here in the south, really.

But just because us southerners are still waiting for that perfect kiss of crispness to set it doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy all the delicious fall flavors.

Yeah, I don’t really want to throw a pie in the oven when it’s still an oven outside my door, but I do want to gobble up all the apple pie I can get.

These no bake apple pie cheesecake parfaits will leave you lovingly licking your spoon and savoring every last bite.

What Exactly Is an Apple Pie Cheesecake Parfait?

Traditional parfaits originated in France, as cold layers desserts.

Parfaits feature a thick custard like layer alternated with layers of fresh fruits in pretty, clear glass dishes or jars to show off the layers for the ultimate presentation.

Our spin on the fruity dessert is by no means a ‘traditional’ parfait.

While we have kept some of the same elements, like a creamy layer and layers of fruit, we’ve changed it for and to maximize seasonal flavors.

Think a rich caramel drizzle, creamy cheesecake layers, and apple pie filling put together in one delicious treat.

Ingredients

To make these you’ll need:

Cream cheese– Softened to room temperature
Sugar– Granulated
Vanilla– Real vanilla extract
Heavy cream– Don’t substitute a lower fat dairy product or you will loose that richness from the cream.
Apple pie filling– The canned stuff is fine, but you can also use leftover homemade pie filling like this Crock Pot Apple Pie Filling or this Instant Pot Apple Pie Filling.
Caramel– The kind you find with the ice cream toppings. For garnish, if desired.

How to Make

Making these no bake apple pie cheesecake desserts is a breeze!

Really you are only making the cheesecake layer and then assembling and you are done!

To make the cheesecake layer, cream together the room temperature cream cheese and sugar until smooth with a hand-held mixer. (affiliate).

Once the cream cheese and sugar mixture is smooth, beat in the vanilla and heavy cream until the mixture is thick.

Layer cheesecake mixture and apple pie filling in small jars, alternating cheesecake and apple pie filling until the jar is full.

Top with caramel sauce drizzle if desired.

Repeat with all the serving dishes until you have used up the ingredients.

Serve the parfaits immediately, or refrigerate until ready to do so.

Enjoy!

Can I make these ahead of time?

While these are easy to throw together anytime, if you are trying to take some stress out of entertaining these little parfaits can absolutely be made ahead of time.

If making them ahead of time, layer the cheesecake fluff and the apple pie filling as instructed with your desired number of layers.

At this point you can top the jars with their corresponding lids or seal them with a bit of cling wrap.

Pop them in the refrigerator and let them chill until you’re ready to serve.

Pull them out when you’re ready to serve, and add an extra final dollop of the cheesecake filling to the top and finish them off with a fresh drizzle of caramel.

How do I make these parfaits look pretty?

I tend to just spoon the layers in, which is quick and easy but not the prettiest presentation.

The trick to making them pretty is piping the cheesecake layer in with a piping tip.

I like to spoon my filling into a piping bag or even a large ziplocking bag with the corner snipped off and a star tip attached.

Then I just pipe even layers to make such a pretty presentation.

It’s just as easy as spooning the cheesecake layer in and less mess!

Tips and Tricks

Are you looking to make an otherwise indulgent dessert a little bit leaner? Use fat free cream cheese or the Neufchatel variety to shave some calories off this post-dinner treat.
Don’t have apple pie filling? No worries! Any flavor of pie filling will work. You can even use pumpkin pie filling, just whip it first so it’s fluffy and aerated.
Want to really take out all the stops? Sprinkle a little ground cinnamon out over the top of the finished parfaits just before serving. A cinnamon stick stuck into the top of each jar will also add a nice finishing touch.
