Recipe: Cheesecake Apple Pie in a Jar





When two kinds of all time favorite desserts — apple pie and cheese cake — are "rolled into one" and baked in mini jars, you have this beyond delicious dessert: cheesecake apple surprise mini pie in a jar. Yes, beneath the pie crust and apple pie filling, there is a "surprise": a layer of cheesecake.

Presented with a rustic and homey style, these baked desserts in jars couldn't be more charming.

INGREDIENTS
1 3/4 C. (1 package) graham crackers
1/3 C. butter, melted
24 oz. (3 pkg) Philadelphia Cream Cheese
3/4 C. sweetened condensed milk
2/3 C. white sugar
2 eggs
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cans apple pie filling
2 Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crusts
12 half pint canning jars or ramekins
Drinking glass (a little larger than your jar lids), to cut out crust



DIRECTIONS
Place graham crackers in Ziploc bag and crush.

Pour melted butter into baggie with graham crackers and shake to mix well. Place 2 heaping tablespoons of graham cracker mixture into bottom of a half pint jar and carefully spread around.

For cheesecake layer, beat cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice and mix well. Place 1/3 c. of cream cheese mixture into each jar.

Fill jars to the top with apple pie filling (about 1/2 C).

Unroll pie crust. Find a drinking glass or round cookie cutter that is about 1/2" larger than your jar lid and cut out 4 circles. Re-roll remaining dough and cut out 2 more circles. Repeat with other pie crust. If desired, cut small slits or a little shape in the middle of your crust.

Place one cutout crust on each jar and pinch edges to resemble a pie crust. Finish with a light dusting of white sugar.

Place on a cookie sheet (just in case any of them leak, you don't want to clean that out of your oven) and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes until done.

Oh goodness, you're so right...two desserts in one, and how cute are they?!!
I love this idea! Thank you for posting, Loocie!!

Busy day, so it was just buttered bread, cheese, and carrot sticks with dip.

[MortgageQueen]

Made beef stew in crockpot. It was one of the best ever. Go figure! I just tossed beef cubes (sirloin tip)in a mixture of flour paprika/onion powder/garlicpowder/salt and pepper. . .gave them a quick browning and threw in onions/carrot/potatoes with a little water and remaining flour mixture.
Added 2 bay leaves, 1 1/2 tsp thyme, and another good dash of paprika. Wow! Came out awesome. Make a big batch and have leftovers with crusty bread. Yum Yum

[MrsSunshine]

im going to try and do a little pork rib roast..

[momof5boys]

I kept looking at a jar with some dried white beans sitting in my pantry for a couple of years lol....so time to actually DO something about them. I soaked them overnight and now they are cooking in the slow cooker. I'm thinking of making some sort of baked bean recipe with them and then using them in a recipe with bacon and potatoes....not sure how that'll turn out but worth a try I suppose. I may also make some home made pizza tonight since we have a bit of left over spaghetti sauce....
